This property once featured towering pines, mature forest, and a charming lakeside cabin. Sadly, the Greenwood Fire of 2021 swept through the area, forever changing the landscape and destroying the cabin and many of the surrounding trees. Today, this property offers something unique—a blank canvas to create your own Northwoods retreat exactly the way you've envisioned it. Whether you're dreaming of a seasonal getaway, year-round lake home, or peaceful cabin in the woods, this is your chance to start fresh in one of northeastern Minnesota's most scenic settings. North McDougal Lake is a peaceful 273-acre lake that connects with Fourth, Middle, and South McDougal Lakes, creating a quiet chain of lakes perfect for exploring by boat, canoe, or kayak. The area is well known for excellent walleye and smallmouth bass fishing, along with opportunities to catch northern pike. The surrounding Superior National Forest provides endless opportunities for hiking, wildlife viewing, photography, hunting, and year-round outdoor recreation. Nature is already reclaiming the landscape, and with each passing year the forest continues to regenerate, making this an exciting opportunity to invest in both your future and the future of this remarkable property.
