About The Timbers Recreation Area
The +/- 250 acre former Girl Scout property boasts nearly 9,000 feet of water frontage with 2,000 feet of frontage on Long Lake, an entire 20-acre lake within its boundary – Fern Lake – with 4,500 feet of shoreline, and roughly 2,400 feet on Page Lake. The balance of the property is a combination of mesic northern hardwood forest, fields, and riparian wetlands providing a multitude of recreation opportunities including fishing, hiking, kite-flying, wildlife viewing, and more. The property currently has a network of marked and unmarked two-tracks and trails throughout with potential for further trail and infrastructure development.
