MICHIGAN KOSKI LOG CABIN/HOME FOR SALE - This cabin on a 40 Acre property is located in Covington Township, near the Village of Covington, which is in south-western Baraga County. This Michigan, Upper Peninsula community, along with the neighboring Village of Watton, holds numerous cultural and recreational events throughout the year, and is a Year-Round Outdoor Recreational Haven! The area was first settled by French-Canadian loggers around 1885. Finnish settlers started arriving in 1898, and farming became more prevalent, but logging continued to be an important occupation. Crop and dairy farming, and logging are still done in the area today. - Covington is known for its Historical Museum, and for a beautiful 1900s Art-Deco/Finnish Style church which is open to the public, that was designed by a Chicago Art Institute Professor. - About a mile+ from the property is the Covington Multi-Purpose Building - the large covered pavilion hosts many outdoor activities in the summer months. One of these popular events is an annual July-Daylong Finnish Music Festival which features musicians playing Finnish inspired music, meals, and tours. In the winter the pavilion is a skating/hockey rink. There's also a ski-hill with a tow-rope there, for skiing, sledding, and snowboarding. - Just about 2+ miles to the north-west, via the Plains Road, is access to thousands of acres of Copper Country State Forest Lands, and about 2+ miles to the south are thousands more acres of Copper Country State Forest Lands for walk-in fishing, trapping, and hunting. The area is known for super hunting, with Black bear, Bobcat, Coyote, Raccoon, Red fox, Red squirrel, Ruffed grouse, Varying hare, and Whitetail deer sighted regularly. - Less than a mile to the north is the Kelsey Creek, which flows northward to join the Sturgeon River. Where the river crosses the Plains Road is a great spot to launch a canoe or fishing boat and cast for some fine Trout or Bass. Beautiful Tibbets Falls is just a short distance past this river crossing. (Where the Plains Road takes a sharp right turn, there is a post at this spot where a trail road leads to a parking area at the end of the road and the beginning of a trail to the Falls). There is access to a section of the "North Country National Scenic Trail" also from this site, and few miles further up the road is access to a main North-South Multi-Use State Trail (No. 5) for motorized and non-motorized fun year-round - Biking, Hiking, Horseback riding, off-Roading, Cross-Country Skiing, and Snowmobiling! Two miles to the east is 622-Acre, 7-Foot Deep, Vermilac Lake for some great fishing for planted Walleyes, and naturally occurring Northern pike, Perch, Sunfish, and Crappies. The Baraga Plains Waterfowl Management Area, Big Lake Campground, and the Baraga Plains ATV Trail are also local area outdoor points of interest. - The Custom Koski Log Cabin was built in 1985.
