Largest Undeveloped Shoreline Parcel
on Mullett Lake Protected
WHEN THE LARGEST UNDEVELOPED shoreline parcel on Mullett Lake in Cheboygan County became available, the question was how the Conservancy could best purchase the land to protect it, with the hope that state ownership would occur in the near future.
Thanks to a generous Conservancy supporter, things fell into place. Last summer, the 143-acre parcel was purchased by the Conservancy and will be held while the Conservancy works with the state toward its acquisition of the property.
Approximately half of the property is forested wetlands and the upland portion includes large white and red pines, scattered with red oak. The parcel contains more than 1,100 feet of unspoiled, natural shoreline.
“I would like to give a huge ‘thank you’ to LTC for acquiring what we have called the Johnson property,” said Tony Naylor, president of the Mullett Lake Area Preservation Society. “In addition to its size and ecological importance, this parcel is bisected by the North Central State Trail, an old railroad grade resurfaced for public use. Congratulations to LTC for a job well done.”
“The presence of the North Central State Trail on the property makes it an especially attractive acquisition for the state,” said Kieran Fleming, director of land protection for the Conservancy.
The map above shows the new parcel in relation to nature preserves owned by the Conservancy. “It is so rare to have the opportunity to protect shoreline of this size anymore,” Fleming added.
