About Lapeer Prairie and Ponds Reclamation
Prairies and Ponds at Oakdale is a natural habit restoration and preservation. It offers trails and a covered pavilion for meetings and nature lectures. The 35-acre project site is located in the City of Lapeer on Highway 21 west of Highway 24 and east of Millville. A 40-acre woodland and 100-acre riverbed are adjacent to the preserve creating almost 200 acres of natural beauty within the city limits. This includes the expansion of existing wetland areas to increase habitat for waterfowl. The site is part of a flyway for waterfowl and has been identified as prime nesting habitat for ducks by the US Fish & Wildlife Service and Ducks Unlimited. Prairie grasses and wildflowers native to the Midwest have been introduced in upland areas of the site. There is a trail system with an observation mound, boardwalks, platforms, and teaching stations located throughout the site. From [|Michigan.org: Prairies & Ponds of Oakdale web site]
