Take a Wild Summer Vacation

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.

Visitor Centers
Do you know how the sand dunes along Lake Michigan were formed? Or why Tahquamenon Falls looks like root beer? Have you ever seen an animal track and wondered what kind of critter made it?

Be sure to check out the current event flyers for special family programs.
