Loons regularly nest in the more remote areas. The Cisco Chain of Lakes is made up of 14 (Locals say there are 15) interconnected lakes which straddle the border between Michigan and Wisconsin and have over 4,000 acres of water. Clearwater Lake doesn't have a navigable channel connecting it to nearby Little African Lake, but a small creek meanders the few hundred yards between the two lakes. Wintertime offers outstanding snowmobiling, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. Sportspersons from Michigan and Wisconsin have cooperated to provide snowmobile trails that span the borderlands. Snowmobile Trail No. 13 runs just west of Co Rd 531, a couple miles away. Spring wildflowers provide a beautiful backdrop for woodland hikes. Summer recreation includes swimming, picnics, and backpacking. The Fall provides spectacular color displays in the forests.
