56 acres
1,400 feet along Lake Michigan on Little Traverse Bay
The upland portion of this preserve consists of sugar maple, birch, big tooth aspen, beech, cedar, and spruce. The tops of a red pine plantation were almost all broken off in a significant ice storm in Spring 2025. The topography here is gently rolling, with three sinkholes visible. The shoreline is dominated by cobblestone.
Roughly .5 mile of universally accessible trail meanders to a lake overlook platform that offers stairs to the beach. A steel tree sculpture framing a historical Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians settlement map is found next to the platform.
Long kept undeveloped by the previous landowners, neighbors had created paths through this beautiful lakeside property. When the Conservancy acquired the preserve in late 2023, the primary donor requested that the new preserve acknowledge its Native American heritage and also be universally accessible so that all may enjoy this beautiful land.
ADDRESS: 6413 Division Avenue, Charlevoix - Turn across from the Bayshore gas station on Townline Road. Next, take a left on Division Road and travel over a quarter mile to the wooded parking area on your right.
