The Crow Wing River is a 90-mile designated State Water Trail beginning from a chain of 11 pristine lakes near Akeley in southern Hubbard County. Flowing southeast through some of Minnesota's most beautiful wilderness, it joins the Mississippi River at historic Crow Wing State Park - a journey spanning nine counties and connecting you to an extensive network of Minnesota waterways. The Gull River, flowing from the renowned Gull Lake of the Brainerd Lakes Area, feeds into the Crow Wing River system, linking this property to the heart of Minnesota's premier recreational region. Downstream, the Crow Wing connects to the mighty Mississippi River, opening access to endless exploration opportunities. Perfectly positioned in Todd County near the Wadena County line, this property is 10 minutes to Staples for full services, groceries, dining, and medical, 15 minutes to Motley, and just 20 minutes to the Brainerd Lakes Area - Minnesota's premier recreational destination. Easy highway access via nearby State Highway 210 puts you 2.5 hours from the Minneapolis/St. Paul metro area. Close enough to enjoy Brainerd's 460+ lakes, championship golf courses, Paul Bunyan Trail, and extensive dining and entertainment options, yet far enough to enjoy true privacy and tranquility.
