au train island - sunset point

Au Train Island is a true Lake Superior landmark. The Sunset Point parcel offers 29.43 acres and has 2,139 feet of lake frontage. This is the most accessible large parcel on the island with stone beaches and some protection from the open waters of the lake. There are also numerous preliminary septic approvals already in place on this parcel. The forest is old growth northern hardwoods and hemlock and offers a variety of habitats including a blue heron rookery and frequent sightings of Bald Eagles, often more than one at a time. Some of the large trees are nearly 10 feet around. Au Train Island is located on Lake Superior in the central part of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. With limited supply of Lake Superior frontage, the island is situated in a truly “superior” location. The closest point of mainland is about 1 mile from the island and the nearest public boat dock is approximately 2 1/2 miles. Pictured Rocks National Lake Shore, the city of Munising, Grand Island National Recreation Area and the city of Marquette are all less than 30 miles from this island. Both Munising and Marquette have full service harbors. The entire island is still under single ownership.
