Waterfowl at Watkins Lake State Park and County Preserve

October 29, 2022 @ 9:00 am - 11:30 am

This gem features beautiful rolling land covered in a mixture of open meadow, mixed hardwoods, low wetland areas, open water, and the property’s most popular feature, Watkins Lake. Watkins Lake has been designated a Waterfowl Refuge by MDNR due to the significant habitat provided for migrating and breeding birds; many species of ducks, geese, grebes, and more may be seen, especially in spring and fall. The park also has historical significance as being part of the Underground Railroad and being awarded membership to the Network to Freedom program through the National Park Service (read more here).

Directions: A Recreation Passport is required for each vehicle entering the park. Meet at the main parking lot on Arnold Rd (map).

Carpooling: For those interested in carpooling, we will depart from the Miller Road Park and Ride (map) at 8:15 am.

Leaders: Juliet Berger and Matthew Spoor
