Vacant river parcels are hard to find, especially larger parcels with expansive direct river frontage. If this is what you've been searching for, look no further as I’m representing 22 acres with over 1300’ of frontage on the Little Betsie River. I always say, in the real estate business it’s nice to have options, and with this Little Betsie River parcel you would have a blank slate on which to live your river dream, while fishing for Coho, chinook, lake-run browns, steelhead, and more.
"The Little Betsie River is a cold-water tributary to the main-stem of the Betsie River and is the largest tributary within the Betsie Watershed. The Little Betsie River provides spawning and escape cover for trout, and instream habitat for aquatic insects. The Little Betsie is approximately 12 miles long and a crossing project opens fish passage up to 4 miles of it. The Nessen road/stream crossing...was an aging concrete bottomless box structure approximately 7½ feet wide over the Little Betsie River. The extremely narrow width created an unnaturally large scour pool downstream and increased velocity flows at the outlet. In addition large amounts of gravel from the roadway were being inputted into the stream along with crumbling material from the structure itself. Through this project partners designed and completed the installation of a 14’ wide, 22’ span timber bridge that accommodates the natural stream channel and allows the natural movement of substrate, fish and wildlife. Paved approaches and spillways were incorporated to channel road runoff away from the stream as well." (www.rivercare.org) Projects like this improve the quality of the river for both fish and humans significantly.
"The Betsie River itself is located in Benzie/Manistee Counties, 30 miles south of Traverse City, and is most known for its steelhead and salmon fishing. The river itself has a mix of sand, gravel and clay bottoms, and the depths vary from long shallow flats to short, deep, cool holes for fish to hold in. The river is anywhere between 30 and 60 feet wide and is relatively easy to wade when using common sense... The Betsie River flows from Green Lake to Frankfort and offers anglers some of the finest salmon and steelhead fishing in the northern Michigan." (www.current-works.com)
Also within a mile of this property is one of the state's 19 GEMS, "Grouse Enhanced Management Sites, which are large blocks of land open to hunting and have lots of young forest. Young forests are great places to hunt and see wildlife due to thick cover and great food sources provided. To get young forests, plans are made and timber is cut. At GEMS, old logging trails are used as hunter walking trails to get you started. The hunter walking trails will provide an easier walk for those looking for it. Of course, you can always make your own adventure by taking off through the woods and walking through the brush and trees." (www.michigan.org) There is ample opportunity to hunt grouse on what could be your own 22 acre paradise, contiguous to state land. Call soon for a guided tour of this property and the neighboring GEMS habitat.
