Pure Michigan Byway

The Lake Bluffs Bird Sanctuary on Lake Michigan’s shore boasts over 1,500 feet of Lake Michigan Frontage on its 76 acres in Manistee County. Originally landscaped as an arboretum, many notable specimens have been preserved such as California Redwood, Ginko, and two Michigan Champion Trees, a Giant Sequoia and Sycamore. Also notable are bird species both nesting and migrating through the area. The sanctuary is situated in a major migratory flyway.

The Sanctuary has trails with plaques and other markers to inform and educate visitors about the natural landscape.  When hiking the trails, a small donation is requested and may be dropped in the marked tubes.
