This 240+/- acre recreational parcel is located in the northwestern corner of Bates Township in Iron County, within Michigan's Upper Peninsula. The property is surrounded by Ottawa National Forest Lands, which encompass 988,000 acres and offer opportunities for boating, camping, picnicking, fishing, hiking, hunting, kayaking, skiing, wildlife observation, and other outdoor activities. These National Forest Lands include over 300 lakes stocked by the MDNR and over 1,200 miles of trout streams. The eastern border of the property nearly touches the East Branch of the Ontonagon River, which flows northward 54 miles to the confluence with the Middle Branch of the Ontonagon River. These river bodies, some designated as trout streams, contain coldwater fish species accessible to fish migrating from Lake Superior. There are also a few ponds located on the property. Lake St. Kathryn, located a mile+/- southwest of the parcel, is known for Northern Pike, Walleye, Bass and Perch fishing. Perch Lake, three miles southwest of the property, is the largest water body in the County, with 994 acres and good numbers of Walleyes, Northern Pike, Largemouth Bass and Perch. The Hanna Webb Lake, four miles straight south of the property, is one of the Brook Trout "Better Fishing Waters" designated by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR). Wildlife species found in the area include white-tailed deer, black bear, coyote, wolf, bobcat, squirrel, rabbit, chipmunk, raccoon, otter, beaver, skunk, and fox. Seasonal and year-round bird species include songbirds, shore and water birds, and game birds. The Porter Lake-Sidnaw Multi-Use State Trail Number 15 runs just to the west of the parcel, serving as a state-designated snowmobile trail in winter and an off-road vehicle (ORV)/all-terrain vehicle (ATV) trail in other seasons. This network of trails connects with other trails across the Upper Midwest. The property features rolling hills and some 20-foot high peaks, with Aspen Stands as the most common trees, along with northern hardwoods, oak, spruce, mixed conifers, red pine, jack pine, and some areas of mixed swamp conifers. Several open areas are covered in grass and ferns. There are about six miles of trails throughout the property. The parcel is enrolled in the Michigan CFA Program, providing a tax incentive to landowners to retain and manage their forestland for long-term timber production and to provide foot access to the public for hunting, trapping and fishing.
