FORT GRATIOT
NATURE PRESERVE

3720 Keewahdin Road, Fort Gratiot Township

The ponds here are home to a large variety of waterfowl and provide a safe resting place during migration as no hunting is allowed. This is also a great warbler migration hot spot and provides a habitat for woodpeckers, swallows, raptors, marsh, and wading birds.
