40 Acre Upper Michigan Log Cabin Riverfront Retreat For sale! This property is located in Stambaugh Township, in Iron County. It has 1,320 Feet of pristine frontage on the South Branch of the Paint River! The Paint is one of the cleanest, coolest, fish-friendliest trout streams in the Midwest. The North and South branches are known for excellent Brook and Brown trout fisheries. The South Branch is loved by trout anglers. Sections of this river, as well as one of its tributaries (Cooks Run) are designated Blue Ribbon trout streams. In the upper reaches, above Cooks Run, are plenty of Brook trout. Below the Cooks Run tributary are naturally reproducing Brookies and Browns. The confluence of the North and South is called The Forks and from here the main river flows eastward, then southward through a scenic valley, then joins the Brule, then the Michigamme River. These rivers form the Menominee River, which creates the border between Michigan and Wisconsin. It then flows into Green Bay on Lake Michigan. Three sides of the property are bordered by the Ottawa National Forest. This Forest of 993,000 acres has more than 500 lakes and 2,000 miles of rivers and streams. In addition to the river frontage, the property has two functioning artesian springs that come bubbling out next to a natural spring area adjacent to the river. There's a wetland area that has mature cedar and tamarack, and established hiking trails adjacent to the cabin which go into the upland woods and down to the river. These forests harbor abundant wildlife - Wild turkeys, Grouse, Ducks, Loons, Coyote, Foxes, Beavers, White-tailed deer, Moose, Timber wolves and Black bear. Canoeing, cross-county skiing, fishing, hiking, horseback riding, hunting, mountain biking, and wildlife viewing are just some of the activities you can enjoy here!
