Our Thoughts About

Buying a Fishing Property

The Upper Peninsula of Michigan is a dream destination for anglers, offering a vast array of freshwater fishing opportunities in some of the most pristine and scenic locations in the country. Whether you're casting for walleye in Big Bay de Noc, fly fishing for trout in the Escanaba River, or exploring remote inland lakes in the Hiawatha National Forest, the UP is a haven for those who love the water. Fishing properties in this region range from riverfront homes with private access to lakeside retreats featuring docks and boathouses to secluded off-grid cabins for the ultimate wilderness escape. With its diverse landscapes and world-class fishing, the UP is the perfect place to invest in a property that brings you closer to the great outdoors.

Riverfront Retreats for Trout and Smallmouth Anglers

Owning a riverfront property in the Upper Peninsula means direct access to some of Michigan’s best trout, steelhead, and smallmouth fishing. The Escanaba River is a favorite for trout and smallmouth, while the Fox River, once fished by Hemingway, offers classic fly fishing experiences. The Menominee River is known... for its trophy smallmouth bass and walleye, making it a great location for multi-species fishing. Riverfront properties often feature wooded acreage, private docks, and cozy cabins perfect for those who want a peaceful escape with world-class fishing just steps away.

Lakeside Homes with Private Docks and Expansive Views

For those who love fishing from a boat or the shore, lakeside properties provide year-round access to Michigan’s best fishing waters. Big Bay de Noc is a prime spot for walleye fishing, while Indian Lake offers excellent northern pike and perch fishing. Lake Gogebic, the largest inland lake in the UP, is a favorite for smallmouth bass... and trophy perch. Many lakeside homes come with private docks, boathouses, and large decks overlooking the water, making them perfect for both full-time living and vacation getaways. With ice fishing in the winter and boating in the summer, these properties offer endless enjoyment.

Remote Cabins for Off-Grid Fishing Adventures

For anglers who crave solitude, off-grid cabins near remote lakes and hidden trout streams provide the ultimate getaway. The Hiawatha National Forest and Ottawa National Forest are home to pristine, lesser-known fishing waters where you can enjoy a true wilderness experience. Many of these cabins are accessible by seasonal roads, offering... unparalleled privacy and immersion in nature. Whether you're looking for a rustic log cabin or a modern off-grid retreat with solar power, these properties provide a unique opportunity to fish in some of the most untouched waters of the Upper Peninsula.
