Upper Michigan 30-Acre Recreational Parcel for Sale! This property is located just south of the Village of Covington in the southwestern part of Baraga County in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. This is a Year-Round Recreational Area! The area was first settled by French-Canadian loggers around 1885. Finnish settlers started arriving in 1898, and farming became more prevalent, but logging continued to be an important occupation. Crop and dairy farming, and logging are still done in the area today.  Covington, and the nearby Villages of Watton and Nestoria join together throughout the year to host anumber of community activities. There are numerous cultural and entertainment events held at the Covington Multi-Purpose Building.
