331 Brook Street , Michigamme, MI 49861(Marquette County)

Upper Michigan Waterfront property for sale! This property is located on the northern shoreline, at the western end of Lake Michigamme, which is found in west-central Marquette County. Lake Michigamme's name is derived from a Native American language word meaning "large lake". One of Michigan's largest lakes, it covers 4,292 Acres, has about 55 miles of shoreline, and it reaches a depth of over 70 feet. The lake has 27 islands, rock walls and beds, and bays of all sorts of shapes and sizes, and is popular for boating, canoeing, kayaking, sailing, waterskiing, and wakeboarding. A dam separates the Michigamme River from the main body of the lake at the end of the southern arm. The water leaves the lake as the Michigamme River and is joined by other streams until they become the Menominee River, which eventually flows into Lake Michigan. The Spurr River flows into the lake's west end and the Peshekee River flows into the lake in the northeast. The Peshekee offers a thirty mile trip for boaters and kayakers. Van Riper State Park and Van Riper beach are located at the eastern shoreline of the main arm, and there is a public access site to the lake there. Another public access site is available just about a half mile west of the property. It includes a hard surfaced launch site, children's play equipment, beach, and camping area.
