10 - USACE Lease Areas at Day Use Area of McLain SP.pdf

This document is a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers lease agreement (Lease No. DACW35-1-23-3006) for public park and recreational lease areas at three locations within the Keweenaw Waterway Federal Navigation Project in Houghton County, Michigan: Upper Entrance McLain State Park, Lily Pond Harbor of Refuge, and Lower Entrance Portage Entry. The lease is dated from May 2017 to May 2024 and involves three specific parcels of land totaling approximately 3-5 acres, designated for public park and recreational purposes. The lease areas are strategically located near important waterways and state parks, including McLain State Park and the Keweenaw National Historical Park.

The lease is specifically with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, identifying areas to be used for public recreational access. The mapped areas are precisely defined with GPS coordinates and are highlighted in yellow/red on aerial maps, showing the exact boundaries of the leased territories. The document includes detailed exhibits (Exhibit "A") showing the real estate layout of the Keweenaw Waterway Peninsula Project, with specific areas designated for leasing. The lease appears to be part of a broader navigation and public access improvement project in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, facilitating public use of waterfront and park areas under the management of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
