You will leave the everyday world behind and enter a world of
stunning beauty offered by mother nature at the Grass River
Nature area.
The Grass River Natural Area is a 1,165 acre preserve comprised
of wetlands and wildlife habitat. Miles of trails provide for
enjoyable walking, bird watching, and wildflower identification.
The non-profit GRNA offers over a hundred organized hikes and
classes, all year round.
Six short nature trails in mixed habitat. The Grass River
Natural Area is a 1,000-acre mix of habitats: upland forests,
fields, creeks, rivers, marshes, and swamps. Naturalists have
identified more than 60 species of fish, reptiles, and
amphibians here, as well as 400 different species of plants. The
area encompasses the Grass River, which is a short connecting
waterway joining Clam Lake and Lake Bellaire, both part of the
Chain of Lakes in Antrim County. The grass river natural area offers a
close-up view of wetland flora and fauna, as well as other
habitats. Special attractions: Hundreds of species of plants, 65
species of birds, 35 species of fish, and 33 species of reptiles
and amphibians.
Some recent changes have been made to make your visits even more
enjoyable. All trails are self-guiding, each of the three trail
heads is well marked, and the educational trail that skirts the
wildlife cutting areas is intended for your year-round use. We
have added a Perception Pathway for the visually-impaired.
This is just one of a number of remarkable
treasures located in Antrim county Michigan. Grass
