This 56.5-acre hunting tract in Marshall County, Minnesota, features diverse wildlife habitat and convenient access, making it a strong option for those pursuing deer, bear, turkey, grouse, or waterfowl. Located about five miles from Newfolden, this property combines open native grassland with aspen, birch, and scattered spruce, creating a landscape that naturally attracts and supports a variety of game species.
The land is situated on a quiet dead end county road, providing easy entry and a peaceful setting. A newly installed Class 5 gravel parking pad allows space for vehicles or a camper during hunting season. Restrictions on farming and permanent building help preserve the property’s habitat value, ensuring the land remains suitable for wildlife.
The property is bordered by heavier timber on both its east and west sides, forming natural travel corridors for whitetails and other wildlife. Several visible deer trails cross the property, and the combination of cover and open areas supports bedding and feeding activity. The site’s drainage ditch runs through the property, supplying a reliable water source year-round for wildlife and livestock.
This tract lies within Minnesota’s no-quota bear zone, and is in an area known for its healthy bear population. In addition to bear, hunters can find opportunities for deer, turkey, ruffed grouse, and waterfowl. The habitat diversity also lends itself to improvement projects such as small no till food plots, trails, mineral stations, or strategically placed elevated stands.
For hunters who value both private acreage and access to public land, this location is well-positioned. Hundreds of acres of public-use state land are nearby, and the property is a short drive from Thief Lake Wildlife Management Area, Nereson WMA, and East Park WMA—all well-known destinations for quality waterfowl and upland hunting.
The property’s location offers convenient access to nearby towns and services. It is approximately 5 miles to Newfolden, 16 miles to Karlstad, 24 miles to Thief River Falls, 60 miles to Grand Forks, North Dakota, and 70 miles to both Warroad and Lake of the Woods. These nearby communities provide essential amenities such as fuel, supplies, and lodging for seasonal hunters and recreational users.
With strong wildlife presence, a mix of habitat types, reliable access, and proximity to major WMAs, this 56.5-acre property in Marshall County is a practical and versatile option for hunting and recreation in northwest Minnesota. This property is also suitable for haying or seasonal live stock grazing
