Lake Twp, MI 49304

This is the largest private holding with seven miles of frontage on the Pere Marquette mainstream, and a square mile of land. It is surrounded and protected by vast Federal forests. Because of its size and quality, this may be the finest trout property east of the Mississippi. The Pere Marquette is a National Wild and Scenic River by act of Congress, and a Natural River and Blue Ribbon Trout Stream in Michigan. It is recognized as one of the few trout and salmon fishing rivers of this quality remaining in the nation! Hatches of mayflies, caddis, and stoneflies provide tremendous dry fly angling for resident rainbow and brown trout. Spring and fall large steelhead trout and salmon run the river from Lake Michigan. There's an Adirondacks style Lodge built in 1929 of white ash and wormy chestnut, caretakers house, and four newer cabins sited along the river. A trout pond is fed by the river and shaded by large hardwoods. Mineral rights are included. Locals say the fishing is better now than it was in the 1970s. Today it nurtures large populations of resident brown trout and provides world-class fishing opportunities for steelhead and salmon. The Pere Marquette was the location of the first brown trout introduction in the United States (1884). Rainbow trout were planted in 1885 and these early introductions developed into a self-sustaining migratory steelhead population. This property has had just two owners in 100 years. Now it can be yours! Visit and walk the land to experience the beauty, power, and magic of this river! What are you doing this weekend that sounds like more fun?
