DNR to Host open House at St. Clair Flats State Wildlife Area

The St. Clair Flats State Wildlife Area on Harsens Island will be the location of an Open House sponsored by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources. The event will be held on October 6th at 6:00 p.m.

The purpose of the Open House is to showcase one of Michigan’s managed waterfowl hunt areas. These areas are dubbed “Michigan’s Wetland Wonders” by the DNR.

The Open House is an outdoor driving tour of the wetlands area with participants able to tune in to the presentation on their vehicle radios. Stops along the route will showcase improvements to the habitat to enhance waterfowl and wetland wildlife.

Other Open Houses will be held at the Nayanquing Point State Wildlife Area in Pinconning, the Fish Point State Game Area in Unionville, the Pointe Mouillee State Game Area in Rockwood, and the Shiawassee River State Game Area in St. Charles.

The state game areas have been providing managed waterfowl habitats in the lower peninsula since the 1960s. Contact information for the St. Clair Flats State Wildlife Area can be found below.
