    What's special

    Modern comfort with wildernessExceptional water resourcesRemarkable wildlife habitat
    Murray’s Big Bend — Where the River Runs Wild, Adventure Begins & Never Ends. Tucked away in the untamed beauty of Kalkaska County, along Michigan’s legendary wild and natural river, lies Big Bend—a one-of-a-kind sporting property where world-class fly fishing, endless outdoor adventure, and complete riverside serenity come together. With nearly 600 feet of private frontage on the famed river, this is your personal gateway to some of the finest trout water in the Midwest. A gentle slope leads you effortlessly to the river’s edge, making access easy, simple and safe. From the moment you arrive, Big Bend is ready to enjoy. Thoughtfully developed and beautifully improved, the property combines modern comfort with wilderness in a way few places can. Cast to rising trout in the Blue Ribbon waters, float through miles of pristine river corridor, or hit the trails - every adventure begins right outside your front door. What truly sets Big Bend apart is its rare blend of privacy, exceptional water resources, and remarkable wildlife habitat. More than just an Up North getaway, this is a genuine angling property—an intimate connection to living water that appeals equally to serious fly fishermen, outdoor enthusiasts, and anyone seeking a peaceful escape immersed in nature. Beyond the river, the landscape opens into a rich mosaic of cedars, towering white pine and mature red and white oak forests. This diverse habitat supports abundant wildlife and creates outstanding opportunities for hunting, hiking, wildlife watching, and year-round recreation. Big Bend sits in the heart of some of the state's most celebrated free-flowing trout waters & outstanding upland hunting country. Almost surrounded by vast stretches of public land, Big Bend is a place where you can unplug from the noise, reconnect with the outdoors, and build generations of memories in one of Michigan’s most spectacular natural settings. 1 hr from Cherry Cap Airport, 2 tiny guest cabins, Outbuilding, 24 kW Gen.
