Whether you want to learn about waterfowl hunting opportunities, enjoy excellent wildlife viewing or hear about the benefits of healthy wetlands, October is the perfect time to discover Michigan’s Wetland Wonders.
These are the premier managed waterfowl hunt areas in the state, created for exceptional waterfowl hunting opportunities and managed to provide waterfowl habitat for nesting and migration and for the benefit of other wetland wildlife. Since the start, the areas have been funded by hunting license fees and area use fees, but they are open for anyone to visit and enjoy most of the year.
Several of the Wetland Wonders will host open houses next month, giving visitors the chance to talk with local staff, tour the areas and see what each one offers for the upcoming waterfowl season. All open houses begin at 6 p.m. at the area’s headquarters:
- Oct. 3: Nayanquing Point (Bay County).
- Oct. 4: Fish Point (Tuscola County).
- Oct. 10: Shiawassee River (Saginaw County).
- Oct. 11: Harsens Island (St. Clair County).
- Oct. 12: Pointe Mouillee (Monroe and Wayne counties).
Open house information also is listed on the special events tab of each location’s webpage.
