Michigan Waterfront Resort for sale! This property is located in Emmet County, which is at the top north-west of the Michigan "Mitten" (the Lower Peninsula). The Pines of Paradise Resort has a 1.4-Acre wooded parcel with 224 +/- feet of frontage on beautiful Paradise Lake. (Some websites call this Lake Paradise.) This 1900-acre, 18 foot deep lake has been home to cottage owners and yearly visitors since early in the 20th century. Generations of families come every summer to teach the youngsters to swim because of its shallow sandy bottom. With about 10 miles of shoreline, this lake has cottages, resort camps, year-round homes, and three Preserve Areas. Waterskiing, tubing and jet skis, and sailboards are popular among the younger crowd, with sailboats and pontoons preferred by older visitors. Two marinas which offer public access are located along the west end of the lake. Paradise Lake waters are known for fishing summer and winter - for Large and Smallmouth bass, Northern pike, Pumpkinseed sunfish, Black bass, Rock bass, Smallmouth bass, Carp, Walleye, and Yellow perch. Annual Fishing Tournaments are held on the lake! This resort is located in a tourist mecca, with many popular destinations in every direction from this resort!
