The 400-Acre Tract was owned by various timber companies since the 1900s. In the 1940s a severe forest fire burned most of the tract, which created an excellent regeneration of about 150-Acres of aspen. In winter, when other deciduous trees are mostly dormant, quaking aspens are able to keep producing sugar for energy.
Deer seek shade from aspen groves in summer. They also consume bark, leaves, buds and twigs of quaking aspens throughout the year. Ruffed grouse are especially dependent on quaking aspens for food and nesting habitat. About 106 acres of land includes tree species of red maple, sugar maple, yellow birch and ash, with scattered spruce, fir and white pine mix. About 25-Acres of land has northern hardwoods. Sugar maple, red maple, hemlock, basswood and yellow birch are the most common trees in Michigans northern hardwood forests. The McCallum Creek passes through north western parts of this property This creates a wetland management area of about 128-Acres consisting of a mix of marsh and beaver ponds. The largest pond is about 3-Acres in size and about 12 feet deep. The waters of the McCallum creek originate north east of the property being offered for sale and then flow westerly for about 4+/- miles and empty into Torch Lake. The creek may support brook trout. The ponds are visited by ducks, geese and wildlife native to wetland areas. It is recommended that this area be preserved and protected. The 400 Acres is currently enrolled in the Michigan CFA Program Their current Owners objectives are to manage the forest tract stands to maximize growth, health, vigor, in conjunction to support recreation, wildlife habitat and watershed protection. There have been turkey, whitetail deer and bear sightings on this parcel. If a Contemporary Owner wants to build a cabin on this property they would need to withdraw a portion of land from the program. - The property is a short drive south of the Village of Lake Linden, which was organized in the mid 1950s to support local copper mining activities. The County Road bringing you to the forest road is plowed and maintained. The forest road into the property is about 2 miles long and can be accessed by vehicle in the summer, but is not plowed in the winter, so access would be by snowmobile or tracked ATV type vehicles. There are no public utility lines to this parcel, so a private generator system would need to be installed for electricity.
