Lake County at a Glance: Established in 1871 and named for the numerous inland lakes dotting its landscape, Lake County is one of Michigan’s most rural and least-populated Lower Peninsula counties, with approximately 11,000 residents. Baldwin serves as the county seat and is known nationally among fly fishers as the gateway to the Pere Marquette River — a federally designated Wild and Scenic River and one of America’s finest steelhead and trout fishing streams. The county is largely covered by the Manistee National Forest, providing vast public recreational land.

The buyer pool consists primarily of outdoor enthusiasts, hunters, fishers, and retirees seeking a deeply rural Michigan experience at very accessible price points.
