Platte River (Michigan) - Northern Michigan's Natural Beauty - Inflatable Pontoon Trip
The Platte River is located in the northern part of the Lower Peninsula of Michigan. Its mouth is located in Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore and much of the rest is in the Pere Marquette State Forest.
The Platte River is about 29.5 miles (47.5 km) in length from its origin at the outlet of Lake Dubonett.[2] The watershed area is about 193 square miles (500 km2). The land coverage is 82% forested, open lands or wetlands; 12% agriculture, and 7% urban. Approximately three-quarters of the watershed is publicly owned lands. Water in the river is clear due to extensive wetlands. Mixed conifer and hardwood wetlands give way to tamarack and arborvitae swamp near Platte Lake.
The Platte River originates in Lake Dubonett[1] flowing west and eventually turning north, flowing into Mud Lake and then into Lake Ann. From the east, additional drainage into Lake Ann comes from Ransom Creek, which drains Ransom Lake, and in turn Bellows Lake and Lyons Lake. From Lake Ann, the Platte River run west and south. It collects the outflow of Upper and Lower Woodcock Lakes then flows through Bronson Lake. The river continues southwest. The Platte River State Fish Hatchery is on the river at Platte Creek, Michigan and Brundage Creek joins the river just to the east. The main branch receives Collison Creek just east of Honor, Michigan. At the Platte River Campground in the state forest, the river turns north west flowing toward Platte Lake.
The north branch of the Platte River receives the outflow of Little Platte Lake shortly before joining the main branch just before the combined flow enters Platte Lake.[3]
The lower part of the Platte River begins as the outflow of Platte Lake, south of Empire, Michigan. It runs generally northwest, widening into Loon Lake about a third of the way through it course from Platte Lake. Its mouth is at Platte Bay of Lake Michigan at Platte River Point[1]. Mud Lake is a tributary upstream of Loon Lake.
There are three boat launches, a canoe launch and three picnic areas on the river in the national lakeshore.
The river above Platte Lake tends to be much swifter and colder than the lower stretch, which is warmed considerably by it passage through the relatively shallow, 3-mile (4.8 km) stretch of Platte Lake.

Let's Visit the Platte River (Near Beulah, MI)
In this video, I quickly check out the Platte River near Beulah, MI. I show off a couple areas of the river including where it empties into Lake Michigan. As the area is a part of the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, you can even see some of the dunes from afar.
The main purpose of this video is to show parts of the river where my family and I used to go tubing when I was a lot younger. Although there wasn't much to cover, I wanted to talk about some memories I had of the river.

Platte River Campground - Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore - MI
A great campground that we came across while in northwest Michigan in the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. Located in Holland, Michigan, it's just a stone throw away from beautiful Glen Arbor and historic fishtown, Leland.
This is by far one of the best national park campgrounds we have seen. It offers electricity at many of its sites, bathrooms with hot showers, and more. There are many trails nearby to go take a hike, or you can canoe/kayak down the Platte River. Lake Michigan is less than 2 miles away.
