All acreage is approximate.
The proposed exchange will consolidate and confine most State ownership to approximately the northern one-third of South Fox Island, Leelanau County, Michigan, about 30 miles west northwest of Charlevoix, in Lake Michigan. The conservation easement would prevent any form of development from occurring within its borders. The northernmost portion of the southern tip is forested and would go into private ownership without any conservation easement. The island property containing a cemetery would move into public ownership. The FWS Regional Director is considering an exchange of lands acquired with Federal Aid in Wildlife Restoration funds under the authority of 50 CFR 80.14 and 43 CFR 12.71.
