Do I need flood insurance on property near the Sturgeon River?

Flood is excluded from every homeowners policy, so if river flooding is a realistic risk at your property it has to be covered separately. It is worth asking the question directly rather than assuming proximity to a river is included.

Can you insure a hunting camp or a seasonal cabin?

Yes. Camps and seasonal structures are rated differently from a primary residence, and some carriers are much more comfortable with them than others. That is a case where shopping it actually matters.

Do you write snowmobile and ATV coverage?

Yes, along with the trailers that haul them. These are almost never covered by a homeowners policy once they leave your property, and often not on it either.

Wolverine is a village in Cheboygan County on the Sturgeon River, one of the faster rivers in the northern Lower Peninsula. It sits south of Indian River along the I-75 corridor.

The mix here leans toward year-round homes, river property, hunting camps and the machines that go with them. Trail access is part of daily life for a lot of households, and so are the sleds, four wheelers and trailers that follow from it.

River property brings its own questions, and the most important one is that flood is never included in a homeowners policy no matter how far the water is from the door.
