What people are saying

“River Trails has provided my husband and me with an opportunity to build our dream home within a community that is quiet and serene but is just outside of town!

It truly is the best of both worlds as it borders the MTU trails and Pilgrim River, and is super close to downtown Houghton and local grocery stores. Steve and Don supported our vision with exceptional communication and positive attitudes. This land has made our move to the U.P. possible by offering proximity to my new job at MTU and eco-friendly options for living in harmony with nature. Don’s plans to build private trails throughout the development and support the health of the Pilgrim River makes me excited for the future. I recommend checking out these lots to anyone interested in putting down roots in an immersive, natural environment with caring neighbors and amazing access to local amenities.”

Our family wants nothing more than to spend every day outside together -- on foot, on bikes, or on skis.  Living in the River Trails community makes that dream possible. 

We love calling the Keweenaw our home, and are even more thrilled to build our home along world class skiing and biking trails, all while being a short distance to Houghton and great public schools.  Our son is a fishing fanatic, and he'll be fortunate enough to have easy access to fishing along the Pilgrim River.  Building a community of neighbors and friends who share our enthusiasm for the silent sports is a dream come true, and we feel  so fortunate to have found a home at River Trails.”

“We are thrilled to be part of the River Trails community. 

The year-round access to trails, the generous size lots and the proximity to Houghton are all part of what makes River Trails a very special spot in the world.   For us, personally, it allows us the opportunity to participate in the silent sports that we love right out our back door.  As an added bonus, we are now much closer to our kids. Don and Steve were extremely helpful and worked with us during the entire process to make our dream come true.”

“What truly stood out was Don’s investment and passion for this neighborhood. He left me assured that I found the right piece of land that would allow me to build a home where I can enjoy my hobbies within a community that also shares that sentiment.

I've always had a passion for the outdoors and sports like nordic skiing, biking, fishing and hiking. So, upon learning what this new development has to offer, it quickly made sense to me that this was the right fit. I’ll have direct access to the MI tech/Nara trails, Pilgrim River, and community built trails.

I feel incredibly grateful to own such a special piece of land in the Keweenaw. I can’t wait to build and start using it for all my favorite outdoor pursuits. I would recommend this area to anyone else looking for land that offers so much of what makes this area unique and not be far from city limits. Thank you Don for making River Trails a place to call home.”
