The Paint River. Just the name is inviting and conjures up beautiful images in your mind that can only be surpassed in person. This 21+ acre parcel boasts 1283 private feet of frontage on this Iron County premier river. Located just under 10 miles north of Iron River off Gibbs City Road, this is the place to launch all your adventures. There are 1,000’s of acres of commercial and National Forest lands within minutes; the ATV/Snowmobile Rec trail borders the access road and the fishing and floating on The Paint is second to none. The acreage is partially wooded with Oak, Poplar and towering White Pines along with other conifers. Wide mowed trails border the perimeter, as well as cross through, the property lending easy access to your new playground. Whether you’re looking to build that dream home on the river or just a place to set up your camper and get going with the adventures you’ll find several beautiful sites along the river. Wisconsin Electric provides power to the property and the county plows Pond Road almost to the parcel, requiring a minimum of plowing beyond their turn-around point. The Paint River is well known for its fabulous fishing and is a favorite for paddling/floating with the many put-in/take-out points along its length. The name Paint is derived from the Ojibway word “Miskua”, meaning “it is red” and this evolved to Paint. The clear tinted water gets the color from the vast area it traverses through the county. Here’s your opportunity to own this slice of heaven offering privacy and tranquility.
