MICHIGAN 40 +/- ACRE PARCEL FOR SALE! It is in North-Central Baraga County in Arvon Township, on the Upper Peninsula of Michigan! "The Heart of Deer Country" - The historic areas of Aura, and Skanee, were settled by Homesteaders in the 1800's, and is known for great populations of Whitetail deer that come down from the Huron Mountains to forage in the apple orchards planted by these settlers. This property is minutes away from outdoor recreational opportunities in every direction!

The East and West Branches converge just above Big Eric's Bridge, about nine miles before the main river reaches Lake Superior. The West Branch is cold and clear and gets its start in the McCormick Wilderness. This branch is gentler, supports fish year-round, and has great Brook trout! If you like to explore waterfalls, there are eight of them on this river's system. The Slate River is 5 +/- miles away, and the Ravine River is 4½ +/- miles away. The gently cascading Ravine River is a Type 1 Fishing Stream that flows into Lake Superior. It has fishing of Atlantic salmon, Brook, Brown and Rainbow trout, Coho and Pink salmon, Lake trout and Splake! About 7 +/- miles to the east are the Huron Mountains. Migrating Whitetail deer pass through this area, browse in the many old homestead orchards and fields, and bed down in the lowlands in the nearby area. Just a one-mile drive to the south provides you with access to State Forest Lands for walk-in access for hunting, trapping and additional stream fishing on the Silver River! In addition to Whitetail deer, this area is host to other game animals, birds, and waterfowls. There is abundant hunting for beaver, bear, coyote, geese, and rabbits in the area. If Lake Superior boating and fishing are "in your sights", you must go only 32+/- miles to Witz Marina, which is located on the beautiful Huron Bay.
