This 110 acre preserve includes four separate ecosystems with a beaver pond and stream.  There is a 1.5 mile trail network on rolling terrain; a historic apple orchard; wildflowers; majestic maple trees; and a history of Anishinaabek settlements along the creek. The preserve is part of the Sleeping Bear Birding trail. Hunting is by permission only from the Leelanau Conservancy.
