26.96 Acres in Garden, MI - $199,900

LAKE MICHIGAN WATERFRONT PROPERTY FOR SALE!  Lots 1-2-3 is located on the beautiful Garden Peninsula in Michigan's Upper Peninsula - A finger of land reaching down into Lake Michigan toward Wisconsin’s Door County Peninsula. The 26.96 +/- Acre wooded parcel has 863 +/- Feet of western facing Big Bay De Noc Bay lake frontage! Located just south of Valentine Point, Valentines Creek, known for catches of smelt, runs north-westerly through the property. The water is very gradually deepening off of this property, so it’s a great place to swim, or perhaps launch your kayak or canoe. Further off the shore, in the deeper waters of the Big Bay De Noc you can fish for Salmon, Trout, Walleye, and Pike. The area is known for good hunting and there is a system of trails through the property - Big Deer with Big Racks! Immediately to the south, just across the highway, is "walk-in" access for hunting and trapping in thousands of acres of Lake Superior State Forest Lands. Also, because many smaller birds won't cross bodies of water if they cannot see land on the other side, the chain of islands extending from Michigan's Garden Peninsula to Wisconsin's Door Peninsula, allows birds to work their way south down the Peninsula, then "island hop" to Wisconsin - making this a paradise for viewing the birds migrating up the peninsula in the spring, and down in the fall! Lake Michigan is one of the five Great Lakes of North America and the only one located entirely within the United States. It is shared by Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, and Michigan.

It has a surface area of 22,400 square miles and is the fifth-largest lake in the world! It is 307 miles long by 118 miles wide with a shoreline 1,640 miles long. The lake's average depth is 279 feet, while its greatest depth is 923 feet. Lake Michigan and Big Bay De Noc's ninety some thousand acres of water, offer a fisherman's dream come true. Add to this an aggressive fish management program and you have some of the best fishing in the USA. Green Bay in the northwest is its largest bay. Grand Traverse Bay in its northeast is another large bay. Big Bay De Noc is where walleye are caught near Kate's Bay and out to the "Boot". Smallmouth bass draw anglers to Ogontz, South River, the "Sand Pit", Tylene's Bay, Kate's Bay and Garden Bay. Go to Fairport for salmon. Many rivers and streams flow into Lake Michigan, and the major tributaries are the Fox-Wolf, the Grand and the Kalamazoo. The word "Michigan" originally referred to the lake itself, and is believed to come from the Ojibwa word Mishi Gami meaning "great water". This property has year round access, and has power available along the road side.
