DeYoung Natural Area on Cedar Lake

There is a quarter-mile hiking trail that winds through mature cedars near the shore of Cedar Lake. It leads down to a fishing and wildlife observation pier on the lake. The 145-acre Louis DeYoung farm is just minutes from Traverse City, with frontage on both sides of Cherry Bend Road. The TART trail runs through a portion of the land on the lake side. Leelanau Conservancy protected this historic farmstead and shoreline in partnership with Elmwood Township.
