Frontage like this opens the door to: Trout, salmon, and bass fishing right from your own property Canoeing and kayaking on a river built for it A public boat launch approximately 1.3 miles upriver, giving you easy access to launch and explore even more water Wildlife and the Woods The hardwoods here don't just look good — they produce. Deer and turkey sign is abundant, with a proven track record of success. Come spring, the forest floor delivers a genuine mushroom bounty for anyone who knows where to look. Location Close enough to Niles, Michigan for convenience, far enough to disappear. This property delivers the privacy and sanctuary of river and woods without giving up easy access to town — the best of both worlds.
