Annual
reports detailing the 2017-2018 hunting season
results, habitat management activities and weekly waterfowl counts are now
available for Michigan’s seven Wetland Wonders.
Michigan's
Wetland Wonders are the seven premier managed waterfowl hunt areas in the
state:
- Fennville Farm Unit at the
Allegan State Game Area (Allegan County)
- Fish Point State Wildlife
Area (Tuscola County)
- St. Clair Flats State
Wildlife Area on Harsens Island (St. Clair County)

Facility (Muskegon County)
- Nayanquing Point State
Wildlife Area (Bay County)
- Pointe Mouillee State Game
Area (Monroe and Wayne counties)

Created
in the 1960s to provide exceptional waterfowl hunting opportunities, these
areas are still managed today to provide waterfowl habitat for nesting and
migration and for the benefit of other wetland-dependent wildlife. Since the
beginning, they have been funded by hunting license fees, but are open for everyone
to visit, use and enjoy most of the year.
