On the western shores of Lake Erie, Pointe Mouillee State Game Area is one of the most respected waterfowl locations in Michigan. Consisting of 4,040 acres it is one of the largest freshwater marsh restoration projects in the world. Along with exceptional waterfowl hunting, its numerous bird species and habitat diversity make it an important birding site in the Midwest. Bald eagles, black-bellied plovers, glossy Ibises, osprey, and whimbrels are unique species that inhabit Pointe Mouillee throughout the year. Along with many recreational opportunities that are present, Pointe Mouillee also has an annual waterfowl festival in September.

Due to failed culverts and road washout at the Mouillee Creek crossing, Roberts Road will remain closed to traffic south of Reaume Road throughout the 2026 waterfowl season.
This cuts off access to one of the two main boat launches at Pointe Mouillee, and we understand the disappointment and frustration this causes. However, there is no alternate route available. We have investigated temporary fixes and determined that they are unsafe.
Since the infrastructure that caused the road to wash out was obsolete, reconstructing the road requires engineering and design work, as well as surveys and permitting.
The Michigan DNR is working toward an agreement with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, in coordination with the Monroe County Road Commission, to safely reconstruct Roberts Rd. at the Mouillee Creek crossing. We will provide updates as this project progresses.
To access the Humphries Unit by boat, launch at the Pointe Mouillee SGA Headquarters boat launch. Then, utilize the pullovers on the Huron River/Vermet Unit (north causeway) and Vermet Unit/Humphries Unit (middle causeway). These pullovers are marked with unit signs and flashing yellow lights. Be advised that weather and wind conditions can affect use of the north causeway pullover.
