About Whiting Overlook Park
Below the Whiting Overlook Park are ponds owned by the Dow Chemical Company. These ponds are popular stopping places for migrating waterfowl and have been designated a Michigan Important Bird Area. Hot water from the plant keeps some of the water open even in winter, attracting large concentrations of diving ducks, especially Common Mergansers in late fall and early winter.
