To start with, Bay City State Recreation Area is a prime location for glimpsing migratory birds, so grab your binoculars and hit the trails! Home to Tobico Marsh, one of the biggest wetlands along the Great Lakes, and covering over 2,000 acres that vary between wetland woods, meadow, marshlands, beach and prairie, this park truly has something for everyone. If you’re not the walking-around-looking-at-stuff type, there’s more than a thousand feet of sandy beach for you to lie on, make into castles, or scour for buried treasure. Jump into Lake Huron for an afternoon dip, or take off on a hunting or fishing journey. With both modern and rustic camping options, plus miles of wilderness to explore, this place has your name on it. Seize the bay!
