Big River into Big Lake in Northeast Wisconsin

Eagles Point on the Menominee is at the mouth of a beautiful 300-acre lake named Grand Rapids. Grand Rapids is the best of both worlds: a lake suitable for all types of lake recreation with miles of undeveloped protected shoreline. Take a boat in the other direction and there are several more miles of big boatable waters waiting to be explored.

The 118-mile long Menominee River begins as a union of the Brule and the Michigamme rivers near Iron Mountain, in the lower Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Following a Southeasterly course before flowing into the waters of Green Bay on Lake Michigan, the Menominee River forms part of the state line between Wisconsin and Michigan. It is Northeastern Wisconsin's largest body of water.

Along its course the Menominee River has been harnessed into a series of large and beautiful reservoirs. The waters contained in these reservoirs are some of the areas deepest and cleanest lakes. Many of the lands that abut those waters are managed for recreational use, which ensures conservation and restricts shoreline development. The lakes are pristine, wild shores of forest lands instead of rows of cottages and docks.

One of those protected lakes is Grand Rapids on the Menominee. With 300 surface acres of water surrounded by 1,800 acres of forest lands, the shores and waters of Grand Rapids are a living ecosystem that provides habitat for a full compliment of diverse wildlife. Grand Rapids is the best of all worlds: a lake suitable for all types of lake recreation with miles of undeveloped protected shoreline.

Whether it is boating, swimming or just looking at the water there are many reasons to own property at Eagle's Point on the Menominee, but the first thing that people usually talk about when they discuss the waterway on which they own property is the fishing:

Fishing - Although Musky, Northern Pike, Perch, Bass and Panfish abound in the Menominee River and Grand Rapids, and make it a true fishing hot spot, these waters are best known for one reason: Walleye. Beginning with an excellent spring run, Walleye are active all summer and well into the fall. The Menominee is one of Wisconsin's best kept fishing secrets, but even fewer people know that in late September, there's a brief Sturgeon season. For trophy Sturgeon this particular stretch of water is one of the best areas to be during this special hook and line season.
