This Preserve near the head of Keweenaw Bay in Baraga County was a gift to the Keweenaw Land Trust from the Michigan Chapter of The Nature Conservancy.

The 200-acre wild natural area is rugged, with steep ravines and lush vegetation. Sixmile Creek, a cold-water trout stream, and Hazel Creek course through it and there are many springs and seeps, along with open sedge meadows and uplands. There is forestland that has been unharvested for decades. There are no improved trails or direct road frontage; a power line cut provides an access point.

The Preserve was established in 2000.
