Little Presque Isle - State of Michigan

The Little Presque Isle tract is often called the crown jewel of Lake Superior, with its beautiful sand beaches, rugged shoreline cliffs, heavily timbered forests, and unmatched public views.
The proposed natural area occurs north and south of Little Presque Point, around the mouth of Harlow Creek.
The area is a combination of a wooded dune and swale community and bedrock lakeshore and cliff.
The wooded dunes and swales formed as post-glacial lake levels receded, depositing a series of low sandy beach ridges.
Since then, the ridges have become forested with hemlock, red pine, white pine, cedar, and balsam fir, while the wet swales that developed between them are now either forested or open wetlands.
