The Great Outdoors

Book an RV in Marquette County, and you are one step closer to experiencing the vacation of your dreams. White River Marsh State Wildlife Area is a combination of open marsh and wet meadow, hardwood and tamarack swamps, and upland areas with prairie and oak savanna and shrub-carr undergrowth. Much of the area is former farmland that has been reclaimed and restored. While you're here, you can enjoy hiking, birding, and wildlife viewing, canoeing and fishing, and other activities. There is one section of the park, in the southwest corner, that is closed to the public in order to reintegrate and train whooping cranes. Keep your rental RV nearby, and you will have an instant wildlife viewing blind with hot drinks and comfortable seats.Page Creek Marsh State Natural Area is a wetland preserve that acts as a refuge for waterfowl, rare meadow birds, and a variety of northern and southern sedge meadow and sandy oak savanna plant life. You'll also find wet-mesic prairie, bog, and seepage lakes environments, among others. This variety presents itself as an ideal opportunity for photography and a chance to observe sandhill cranes up close. You can hike here but should take care of the plant life and try to limit your impact on the vegetation and plant species. Make the trip in your motorhome rental, and you can combine a hot picnic lunch with your outdoor excursions, enjoying the best of both worlds.French Creek Wildlife Area is a nature refuge that was created to provide the public with outdoor recreational opportunities, to protect the watersheds of French and Spring creeks, and to create a habitat for waterfowl with some hunting allowed. Prior to 1947, the area was involved in raising wire-grass, a grass variety used in the production of grass rugs and matting. If you decide to come here, you'll have a chance to enjoy birding, wildlife observation, and photography.
