About Manistee National Forest--Suicide Bend
The name Suicide Bend comes from the logging days of the early 1900s. That portion of the Manistee River was considered a "suicide run" because of the sharp bends in the river and only young, unmarried loggers were allowed to ride the logs on this portion of the river. This bend was considered particularly dangerous and resulted in many deaths as a result of breaking up log jams or falling off of logs into the river. The site is now one of the most popular salmon fishing sites on the forest. The parking lot is located up the bank, and a set of stairs lead down to the river. The river is wide and there are several foot paths along the shoreline. From [|Manistee National Forest--Suicide Bend web site]
