This 174 acre property is not easily accessible and best seen from the water or on a guided hike.

“This rich swamp forest shelters rare and reclusive animals and plants and is key to protecting the health of Lake Leelanau.

Along the shores of Lake Leelanau lies a tapestry of wetland habitats where Mebert Creek discharges into Lake Leelanau. One of the region’s most diverse wetland complexes, with 174 acres and over a mile of shoreline, this preserve provides undisturbed habitat for rare and threatened plants. It also filters and removes excess nutrients, thereby protecting the water quality of the lake.”
