Tidal marsh and wetland habitat ideal for photographing waterfowl, wading birds, marsh grasses and mirrored reflections. Best at sunrise and golden hour when low light and morning mist enhance textures; spring and fall migration bring large concentrations of birds. Expect unpaved parking and short walking trails/boardwalks — bring waterproof boots. No special entry permits typical for Michigan wildlife areas; check seasonal closures. Weekday mornings are least busy.
