Within the city limits of Alpena in an oxbow of the Thunder River, there is a wildfowl sanctuary, located north M-32 (Washington Avenue) and west of US-23 (Chisholm Street). The Alpena County Fairgrounds, at the intersection of 11th Avenue and Fair Avenue, provides excellent views of this sanctuary. The sanctuary can also be viewed from Island Park, located just west of the intersection of Long Rapids Road and US-23 (Chisholm Street). A footpath circles the island with good views of the river and marshes. Source: Chartier, Allen T., and Jerry Ziarno. A Birder's Guide To Michigan.
