Here's an interesting idea for your summer vacation.
How about spending some time viewing waterfowl, herons, deer, eagles, loons and
maybe even an elk or moose. Michigan has designated over 120 wildlife viewing
areas throughout the state that provide excellent opportunities to view
different wildlife species. In most areas in Michigan several excellent
opportunities exist within a short drive.
Most of the sites also provide excellent hiking
opportunities through a variety of different kinds of Michigan habitats. Take a
hike along a northern Michigan stream, or through a black spruce swamp or even
spend some time on a platform which sits on a floating bog mat. All of these
opportunities await those willing to spend a little time in our state's
outdoors.
To help you plan your watchable wildlife vacation the
Wildlife Division's Natural Heritage Program has available the Michigan Wildlife
Viewing Guide. The full color guide provides information on all 121 designated
sites as well as tips on how and when to view wildlife. A species index in the
back makes is easy to select sites based on which kinds of wildlife you would
like to see.
