About Miller's Marsh
This extensive natural area managed by Central Michigan University encompasses a biologically diverse ecosystem. The main marsh is a combination of open shallow water and grass and sedge meadows. It is surrounded by hardwood forests and bordered on the east by a leatherleaf bog. North of the marsh are more grass and sedge meadows and a large open field accessible via a two-track road. The red maples along the marsh shoreline are some of the largest on the island. A mile-long trail circles the marsh and allows access to all described habitats. Many species of birds identified on Beaver Island have been observed at this site because of its habitat diversity. From [|Beaver Island Birding Trail web site]
