About Manistee River State Game Area
The Manistee River State Game Area stretches for several miles east on both sides of the Manistee River, with extensive marshes along the river channel. Begin at the first pulloffs on the south side of the M-55 bridge over the Manistee River. Here, there are two-tracks that end at gates for dikes into the marshes. Parking is not allowed on either side of M-55 north of the bridge, and parked cars must not block the gates at the pulloffs. Both dikes are excellent for a variety of marsh bird species, but there is an observation tower at the end of the north dike that is an excellent area for Sedge Wren. Other notable species include Wood Duck, Blue-winged Teal, Least Bittern, Green Heron, Bald Eagle, Willow Flycatcher, and Marsh Wren. Source: Chartier, Allen T., and Jerry Ziarno.
