Recreational Land for Sale in Twin Lakes, Michigan

It is located in the deep woods East of the hamlet of Donken. (Donkyn or Donkeyn - old time spellings) in Elm River Township. This was a mill town owned by the Case Lumber Company and Company General Store over a hundred years ago, and a location on the Copper Range Railroad. It was thought to be named by the mill owner for his sons - "Don"ald and "Ken"neth. Like many mill towns of the day it had a schoolhouse, post office, and places where lumberjacks could unwind and get wild. Now Donken is a collection of a few homes, and some older abandoned buildings along the highway. - The property offered for sale is also north east of the Village of Twin Lakes on M-26. - It is well known for the location of the Twin Lakes State Park which is a 175-acre modern campground located on the southwest shore of Lake Roland.

The State of Michigan acquired these lands after their old-growth trees were harvested in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Today the State manages these lands for timber production and recreational use by the public. This large natural reserve offers hundreds of miles of trails for hiking, wildlife viewing, cross country skiing and snowmobiling, camping, fishing and hunting. - Trees common in the area include lots of Northern white cedar, and some Balsam fir, Big tooth aspen, Black spruce, Eastern hemlock, Eastern white pine, Jack pine, Norway pine, Paper birch, Red maple, Red pine, Spruce, Quaking aspen, and Yellow birch. - After a winding ride through stretches of woodlands, and Copper Country State Forest Lands, you get to this property - so there is absolute privacy here! - If you would like to establish a private Get-A-Way in the Upper Peninsula be sure to view this property!
