Andersen Nature Trail
By Gregory Hawken in September, 2010
Please note spelling for this Trail. It's a pleasant walk from the visitor centre at the Bay City State Park north along this trail. It would make for a very easy family cycling journey. At about the midpoint of the trail, a path leads off to the left through a marsh towards an observation deck, a nice spot for birdwatching or just enjoying the sights and sounds of the marsh. It is best approached from the south trailhead, as there is ample parking in the State Park.
