Importance:
The shoreline of the area features interdunal wetlands that are
among the largest and most diverse in the state, placing them also
among the world’s best sites for this Great Lakes community. The
extensive “flats”--transitional areas between open dunes and
typical interdunal wetlands--are unique. Four Great Lakes endemic
plant species (found only in the Great Lakes region) are found in
the area. The low foredune and boreal forest (including some
old-growth) add to the diversity of the site, increasing the number
of species of plants and animals available for nature study. The
relatively undisturbed stretch of undeveloped shoreline provides the
opportunity for an uncommon recreational experience.
