Overview

Busse Lake Boating Center Grove is a protected natural area in Michigan, set aside for wildlife habitat and quiet outdoor recreation. Preserves and refuges like this shelter native plants and animals — songbirds, waterfowl, white-tailed deer and other wildlife — and typically offer hiking trails, birdwatching, nature photography and, where permitted, seasonal hunting. They form part of the patchwork of conserved land that keeps Michigan's outdoors wild.

Access and rules vary with ownership, which may be state, federal or a private land conservancy. Trails can be primitive and seasonal, and some areas close to protect nesting or sensitive habitat. Check the managing agency for maps, hours, hunting seasons and any restrictions before you go. Nearby lakes, rivers and parks are listed under related places.
