At the west end of Ohio Street in Bellaire Michigan there is a public boat ramp into the Intermediate River. This is as far north you can safely navigate a boat as a dam and fast water is just a 1/4 mile north of here. The water at the ramp can be fairly shallow at times the river south from here will remain 5foot on average. The photo to the left shows you the view just south of the ramp where the Cayuga Street bridge crosses the river.
