About Rose Lake State Wildlife Area
Once a working farm, this site now contains a diverse mixture of habitats including lakes, wetlands, old fields, and forest. Work roads that double as hiking/biking trails traverse the area. The topography is flat to gently rolling.

Because of the diversity of habitats found here, many different kinds of wildlife may be viewed at Rose Lake. A great variety and abundance of songbirds are seen here. Sandhill Cranes are known to nest here and may be seen flying to and from nesting marshes from May through August. Great Blue Herons are commonly seen in the lakes and wetland areas, and American Bitterns also may be seen by the careful observer. Bitterns are small, elusive wading birds with brown striped necks. When approached, they will stand erect, aim their pointed bills straight upward, and blend right in with the sedges, cattails, and other aquatic plants that give them refuge.

Contact the Michigan Department of Natural Resources for hunting seasons and regulations. From [|Rose Lake State Wildlife Area web site]
