Bay City State Recreation Area's annual Easter Egg Hunt will take place on Saturday, April 11, beginning at 11 a.m. in the day use area.

This event is open to the public and will be held regardless of the weather for the following age groups: ages 3 and under, ages 4 to 7 and ages 8 to 11. Children will hunt for approximately 5,000 colorful plastic eggs filled with candy and various coupons, some redeemable for prizes. This year's hunt will have one grand prize in each of the three age groups. The Easter Bunny will be available for pictures, and parents are encouraged to bring cameras.
