About Grass River Natural Area
The Grass River Natural Area is a 1,140 acre preserve at the east end of Clam Lake and south of Lake Bellaire. Naturalists are present at the trail cabin daily during the summer (mid-June to Labor Day) and on weekends through the end of September. There are 3.5 miles of boardwalks through wetlands, including sedge meadows and cedar swamps, along the river and streams. There are additional trails that go through woodland and upland meadows. Several observation decks along the trails make it easy to scope for ducks and eagles on the river. Breeding birds here include Common Loon, Winter Wren, Nashville Warbler, Canada Warbler, and Northern Waterthrush. Source: Chartier, Allen T., and Jerry Ziarno. A Birder's Guide To Michigan.
