From Ellsworth, take C-48 east approximately two miles to South Arm Township Park and a small parking area on the right (south) side of the road. There is a rustic boat launch on the river.
Visitors can follow a wood-chipped trail to a boardwalk that overlooks St. Clair Lake. This one mile stretch of undeveloped shoreline is also excellent for canoeing.
