The 10+ acres are completely wooded with maple, birch, large white pine, hemlock, cedar, and other hardwood & softwood species. There is an old driveway into the property that accessed an old camper. The owner has an 18-foot-deep point well in the ground along the driveway that could utilize a hand pump to get some water. Area attractions include the Sturgeon River Gorge Wilderness, Prickett Dam and the Sturgeon River to name a few. This area is ideal for the outdoor enthusiasts offering hunting, fishing, hiking, kayaking, skiing, ATVing and snowmobiling. Opportunities are endless.
