LAKE MICHIGAN PARCEL WITH 2,688+/- FEET OF FRONTAGE and 50.4+/- ACRES OF WOODLAND FOR SALE! This property is located in Fairbanks Township witch is located on the beautiful Garden Peninsula, in the Upper Peninsula's Delta County. On Lake Michigan's western facing Sand Bay harbor of Big Bay de Noc, this property is central to some exciting year-round activities. Notably, it is just about a mile south of the 711-Acre Fayette Historic Townsite. This well preserved ghost town of a bustling iron smelting community is located on the same harbor and it has large cliffs, a visitor center, a picnic area, and 20 historic buildings which were built post Civil-War, between 1867 and 1891. The park offers approximately 5 miles of hiking trails, which are groomed in the winter for cross-country skiing. Scuba Diving is allowed in Snail Shell Harbor on certain times of the day. A boat launching site, located between the campground and picnic area is available for pleasure and fishing boats. (The protected waters of Snail Shell Harbor are deep enough for larger yachts and pleasure craft.) Open daily, from May 14 to October 23 - On the second Saturday of August, the park is transformed back to its glory days with period displays, food and music at the annual Heritage Day.

If you are interested in hunting, the property has lots of "deer signs" and this area is known for good hunting - Big Deer with Big Racks! About two miles to the east is additional "walk-in" access for hunting and trapping in thousands of acres of Lake Superior State Forest Lands. Also, this is a Paradise for Bird Watchers. 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 - migrating up the peninsula in the spring, and down in the fall!
