To the north is the Grand Traverse Natural Education Reserve, a 505-acre area which offers a range of marshland, pine and upland forest, threaded with streams and teeming with wildlife. Here visitors can amble along the boardwalk searching for fox, otter, and deer habitats or gaze up at the treetops to spot various bird types.
