The Little Manistee Weir is an egg-take and salmon harvest facility which is operated by the Fisheries Division of the MDNR. The weir is used to block fish on the Little Manistee River in the spring and fall of the year. Steelhead eggs are taken in the spring and chinook salmon eggs are taken in the fall. The eggs taken are then sent to State Fish Hatcheries where they are raised and stocked all over Michigan and other Great Lakes States.
This is also a great spot to drop into the Little Manistee River for a gentle kayak or canoe float down to Old Stronach Bridge. The float takes about two hours and is a favorite amongst locals and visitors alike. When the salmon are running you will have them swim right up alongside your boat.
This is also a popular Explore the Shores universally accessible site.
