Bayfield county decided not to pursue it.

The Pigeon Lake Field Station property near Drummond was sold by the state after many years of operation by the University of Wisconsin-River Falls as a recreational and educational campground.  The 85+ acre parcel of land includes 1750 feet of frontage on Pigeon Lake.  Originally this was a CCC Camp.  The property was recently appraised at $1.32 million dollars.  

The Bayfield County Forestry & Parks Department looked into the possibility of acquiring this property, but the County has decided not to pursue it.  Check up the article on the property that appeared in the January issue of the Bottom Line News & Views.

This is a very unique property.  Would the Nature Conservancy have any interest in purchasing it?  It's worth exploring.
