The Saginaw Bay Visitor Center, located in the Bay City State Park, helps visitors discover Tobico Marsh, one of the largest coastal wetlands on the Great Lakes.
Bay City State Park, situated on the shores of the Saginaw Bay, is home to one of the largest remaining freshwater, coastal wetlands on the Great Lakes, the Tobico Marsh. More than a thousand feet of sandy beach and over 2,000 acres of wetland woods, wet meadows, cattail marshlands and oak savannah prairies make it an ideal staging area for migratory birds. The park has long been known for its outstanding variety of bird life and as a haven for wetland wildlife and plants.
Enjoy a day in the sun! Bring a blanket, lunch and swimwear and enjoy splashing in the Spray Park while having a picnic along Saginaw Bay.
