47.5 Acres Off County Rd 412 Road Newberry, MI 49868

Ernest Hemingway introduced the Two-Hearted name to the world in The Big Two-Hearted River, a short story about his post-World War I trout fishing experience in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. This exceptional 47.5-acre tract encompasses approximately 3,000 feet of the Little Two-Hearted River. The river enters the property's southwest border, then crisscrosses it, working its way north to the Lake Superior shoreline. From there, it parallels the lakeshore for nearly a quarter-mile, flowing east towards its entry into the south shore of Lake Superior. The Little Two-Hearted River is designated a Type 1 Trout Stream by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR). As described in the DNR's Michigan Trout Trails publication, a Type 1 stream is: an inland stream with a significant population of trout that has sufficient natural reproduction to sustain wild trout populations. Type 1 streams are considered high quality trout waters and are protected from certain activities. The property lies adjacent to Michigan State Forest on its east and south sides. A two-track drive enters the property from the east State Forest border, then proceeds north and west, joining the Lake Superior beachfront. At its southeast corner, the property abuts Luce County Road 412, and along its southwest border provides direct access to the premier hiking North Country National Scenic Trail. The property lies in close proximity to several upper Peninsula scenic, camping, and recreation sites: Tahquamenon Falls State Park, twenty miles south, the Two Hearted River State Forest Campground, two miles west, Culhane Lake State camping site, two miles south, and the Crisp Point Lighthouse Historical Site nine miles east. One-half mile east along the Lake Superior shore is the DNR Little Lake Harbor of Refuge with pier and channel entry access to a DNR mooring dock and boat launch ramp on the lake's east side.
