• Normally every couple of years the township declares Lake Front, waterfront and Wilderness properties up for owed back taxes. These properties provide excellent fishing opportunities and you can fish for walleye, bass, lake trout, perch, brook trout and northern pike. One of these properties on Larder Lake has ~1/2 mile of excellent shore line with large flat areas for at least five or six good sized cottage lots. Normally they only post these properties in the local newspaper for 30 days or so and in the past very few people knew that they were for sale/bid. We are unsure when the next properties will be up for sale/bid as they like to keep it quite. When more are available we will post them on the Real Estate site.
• The Wilderness properties comprise of a few acres to possibly 100's of acres by combining several adjoining properties. The area is an excellent area for partridge, rabbit, moose and black bear. Non-residents should note that the current hunting regulations for non-resident property owners allows you to hunt black bear on your property without having to use a guide or outfitter.
