8777 Hamlin Trail

There was a time when a private camp "up north" was the Michigan dream. A place where family and friends could car camp, pitch at tent, sleep beneath the stars, and cook over an open fire. For many, it still is. Here is your dream. Four and a half acres of sloping, quiet woods opening to 389 feet of the Au Sable's North Branch frontage, and adjoining thousands of acres more of State Forest land. There are at least 5 level and elevated building sites back from the river but with a view, respectful of the Natural Rivers Act and well above the flood plain. A path follows an easy slope down to the finest cold water stream fishing lower Michigan has to offer. Quiet and secluded, with upland hardwoods mingling with the tall pines, the Au Sable river has its inviting allure. Always sustaining.
