Tuttle Marsh Wildlife Area

Tuttle Marsh Wildlife Area is a sprawling 5,000-acre wetland complex managed by the Huron National Forest, offering a haven for a diverse range of bird species and other wildlife. With its 400-acre impoundment at its core, surrounded by seasonally flooded wetlands and nesting islands, this marsh is a birder's paradise and a vital nursery for various animals.

Visitors can witness thousands of waterfowl during their spring and fall migrations, while summer brings opportunities to observe terns, herons, egrets, and shorebirds in the exposed mud flats. The marsh is also home to an array of mammals, including black bears, bobcats, and white-tail deer, as well as unique plant and wildflower communities. To ensure the best wildlife viewing experience, it is recommended to observe from the car window, as the animals are accustomed to slow-moving vehicles.
