Located in Bay City, this 200-acre reserve is rich in heritage and wildlife. The nature trail is wide and accessible, stretching to the bay and back, about two miles total. We’ll look for winter sparrows and other songbirds.

Location: Meet in the Kilchis Point Reserve parking lot off Spruce St.

Directions: From HWY 101 in Bay City, turn west onto Warren St., then turn left on to Spruce St. after 0.2 mi.
