The Michigan Department of Natural Resources purchased 2,103 acres of the Storey lake property in Otsego and Cheboygan Counties. This includes the entire Storey Lake and about a mile of Stewart Creek. You can access the Storey Lake property from Fontinalis and Alexander roads and the North Central State Trail runs along its west-northwest boundary. Micah Walker of the Detroit Free Press relates in their article "The land is open for all legal hunting, fishing, camping, hiking, wildlife viewing, bird-watching, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing and other outdoor pursuits. Non-motorized use is welcome, while motorized use is limited until the DNR completes an inventory of the existing roads on the property and develops an access plan." The area includes the bald eagle , red-shouldered hawk, northern goshawk and the Massasauga rattlesnake. To read more on Storey Lake and the DNR acquisition, view the full story here.
