Overlooking Grand Marais, Sawtooth Bluff is a unique parcel of property in Cook County.  Based upon its location and size, it has the potential to be the center point of a Cook County Trail Hub system and to integrate other types of development. This large parcel of land under local control provides a unique and valuable opportunity for community and regional enhancements.
