The region is famous for its excellent hunting opportunities. This parcel borders almost one million acres of public land within the Ottawa National Forest. These vast lands offer "walk-in" access to hunting, trapping, and fishing. Wildlife such as black bear, bobcat, coyote, ruffed grouse, whitetail deer, and rabbits thrive in this area.
Boulder Creek meanders through the eastern end of the property, adding to the natural charm. Other creeks, including Farce Creek, Humbug Creek, Gurgle Creek, Tradition Creek, and the Silver River, also flow through the Reserve, all contributing to the Sturgeon River watershed.
The Sturgeon River itself is a cool-water fishery, classified as a Type 1 Fishing Stream. It is home to an impressive variety of fish species, including Atlantic salmon, brook trout, brown trout, coho, Chinook and pink salmon, lake trout, rainbow trout, and splake. This robust river spans approximately 100 miles from its source at Wagner Lake to its mouth at Portage Lake. Nearby Prickett Lake also offers excellent fishing opportunities with picturesque views.
In addition to the abundant fishing options right at your doorstep, you can easily hop on your snowmobile or ATV to access the Winona-Alston Multi-Use State Trail, located nearby.
Please note that Association Covenants apply to this property, with Annual Association Dues of $75 per parcel, which are used for road maintenance.
