This 127 +/- acre recreational property in Starke County, Indiana, offers a prime location for outdoor enthusiasts, bordering the scenic Kankakee River. Historically, the Kankakee River area was once part of the vast Kankakee Marsh, one of the largest inland wetlands in the United States. It was home to a rich ecosystem of wildlife, making it a prime hunting and fishing ground for Native Americans and later, European settlers. Though much of the marsh was drained in the early 20th century, the river remains a vital habitat for diverse wildlife today. This property provides exceptional opportunities for waterfowl, turkey, and whitetail deer hunting. The Kankakee area is known for its abundant waterfowl species, including mallards, wood ducks, teal, and Canada geese, making it a favorite spot for bird hunters. The property also features a rare and majestic sight: bald eagle nests, adding to its natural beauty and wildlife diversity. In addition to its rich hunting opportunities, the property has electric service on-site with camper hookups, making it easy to set up a base camp for extended stays. Beyond hunting, the property offers excellent fishing along the Kankakee River and is ideal for various recreational activities such as hiking, birdwatching, and camping, all within a serene, natural setting. Located just 1.5 hours from Chicago, this property is the perfect retreat for anyone seeking the outdoor lifestyle, where you can enjoy the peace of nature while still being close to the city. Whether you're an avid hunter, angler, or simply someone who appreciates the great outdoors, this property is a true gem. Schedule a Private Showing
