Magical Lake County Wilderness Hunt Camp

Property Description

Northern Minnesota is simply magical. The endless wilderness offers opportunity to get away from the daily grind and city lights to become fully immersed in the northern bush country. Lake County is arguably one of the coolest parts of North Star State. This 238 acre wilderness property offers endless potential, but you’re already started with an established roadside hunt camp waiting for a camper or fish house as a temporary residence during hunting season. Plus, over 46,000 acres of public land borders four sides, only expanding your reach. Your northern wilderness hunting dreams are waiting for you.

Speaking of hunting, the ruffed and spruce grouse hunting is absolutely world-class. I saw a pile of them picking grit along the gravel road on the way in, and flushed another dozen while walking the property collecting pictures. The bear hunting has already proven productive with one sweet bait site and sturdy shooting already set up. The trophy-bear hunting is renowned in this part of Minnesota—it would be pretty easy to locate and set up a number of additional bait sites. Moose are present, and while whitetails are not available in large numbers, the deer hunting can be great with massive trophy potential.

Accessibility to Northern wilderness properties can be pretty complicated, but reaching the camp is easy and right off the road. The gate is 39 miles from Two Harbors, Minnesota, which is located along the North Shore overlooking legendary Gitche Gumee (Lake Superior). It’s an easy drive to Finland and Silver Bay, providing access to fuel, groceries, hardware stores, restaurants and famous North Shore meat raffles. Not to mention, there are miles of ATV and snowmobile trails immediately accessible.

There are no government programs attached to the 238 acres, providing a future opportunity to strategically log for income and habitat improvement. It's also worth considering the Sustainable Forest Initiative Act (SFIA), which will also improve habitat and generate annual income.

The sound of the wind blowing through the pines soothes the soul. You’ll leave refreshed every time.
