Just one mile south of downtown Indian River lies a breathtaking expanse of over 50 acres, where the Sturgeon River winds gracefully for 1,850 feet along its banks. As the fastest-flowing river in Michigan’s Lower Peninsula and a state-designated Blue Ribbon Trout Stream, its cold, clear waters are a sanctuary for thriving fish populations and a cherished destination for anglers. You may also know it from floating in an inner tube or kayak with family and friends! Flowing directly into the pristine Burt Lake, this river is a vital natural treasure, safeguarded for generations to come.

Now, this protected land is ready to be given an identity that reflects its beauty and significance. With a leadership gift of $2,000,000, you have the rare opportunity to leave a lasting legacy in conservation. To learn more, please contact:
