The Lane Preserve is located in Gladwin County. Traversing through the 270-acre preserve leads up a hill with a panoramic view of the forestland, grassland, and a neighboring pond. You'll walk through an old oak grove and down a hill to the flowing Cedar River where there is an impressive habitat of brown trout! The Lane Preserve is managed in partnership with Leon P. Martuch Chapter of Trout Unlimited. The property offers spring turkey and deer bow hunting opportunities. Trail expansion is in process. Fishing AccessIn partnership with Leon P. Martuch Chapter of Trout Unlimited, the George and Sue Lane Preserve is jointly managed in regards to the river corridor. We have been working together to create fishing access points along the Cedar River within the preserve boundaries.
