About Lighthouse West Natural Area
Here, 42 acres with a variety of habitats and 640 feet of undeveloped shoreline along Lake Michigan provide a place for migrants to stop, feed and rest before crossing the big water.

Check out the wooded areas and thickets in mid-May for migrating songbirds. Rocky shorelines occasionally host shorebirds, and shallow waters can be good for waterfowl. Scarlet Tanagers, Black-billed Cuckoos and Chestnut-sided Warblers are among the birds that nest here. Be aware that property separating the park and Conservancy land, including the beach, is private and closed to the public. Please do not trespass. Visit the spectacular new trail and walkway that leads down the bluff to the lakeshore. From [|Sleeping Bear Birding Trail: Lighthouse West Natural Area web site]
