Rifle River is a fishing spot in Michigan, managed by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and located about 1.6 miles from the town of Selkirk. It is an easy outing, and the river's setting close to town makes it a straightforward stop for anglers. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show July highs around 81°F with lows near 54°F, while winter highs stay in the 20s. For more time outdoors, the Ogemaw Hills Pathway, a cross-country skiing route, lies about 6.8 miles away. The Mack-Lupton Trail is a hike roughly 9.1 miles from the river.
