I've never heard about this one, and after checking IMDb it seems like The Cinema Snob had Black River Monster covered in 2014.

Anyway, it looks hilarious.

no user reviews on imdb... these days that's quite unusual even for super low budget unknown films

looks funny!

No reviews, but a 3.5 rating.

anything below 3.9 is a surefire mark of quality

I once read some movies and documentaries were exclusively made for and only sold at gas stations in the 80s and 90s. Mostly local stuff.
Apparently Black River Monster was made to promote a farm (!), and its availability might have been already very limited to local areas back then (in this case: Michigan), never intended for rental stores.

haha, that's brilliant if it's true...

I wouldn't be surprised if HAUNTEDWEEN had a similar backstory.

Not only was it made in Michigan- it was made in Paw Paw Michigan! I went to Black River Elementary School in the 4th grade!

It was on local TV back in 1986 on WKZO Channel 41 once. That's when I saw it.
I don't remember a lot about it.
