Torch Bay Nature Preserve

Torch Bay Nature Preserve began in 1991 as a dream by the people of Torch Lake Township and became a reality in 2000.   The acquisition of these roughly 40 acres was made possible by a grant from the Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund, matched by the previous owners.

Money and labor to develop the nature trails, viewing platforms interpretive shelter and signage was donated locally and matched with a Coastal Zone Management grant.
