If unable to drive through, highly recommend their nice hiking trails (easy terrain). Plenty of water fowl and flora to view. Quiet, serene setting truly transports one away from the hustle and bustle. We needed the break from tourist-filled Frankenmuth and we're surprised refuge was just a 20-minute drive away. Ahhhhh...great respite. Would have appreciated a few more benches to be able to sit and soak in the ambience. Plus a handout map....digital was great but cell service can be spotty. Add a list with pics of some wildlife to view would be helpful as well. Appreciate the park rangers hard work in keeping such a safe haven for wildlife. Expect to need a car wash afterwards...dirt road. But we'll worth it! Free admission (thanks). Donor box? We'd gladly support your cause

Wanted to check out Saginaw Bay and found myself in a road trip. Came across the Bay City State…read morePark and I have a state park pass on my license plate so I figured I would pop in and check it out. On this particular day they had a waterfowl festival event with food trucks, vendors, puppies and much more. Spent the day enjoying the festival and the park. I really liked that they had a splash pad, childrens area, lots of trail options, close parking to the beach and the restrooms. The beach was not the best place to be in my opinion because of the marsh line. You could walk far out and put a chair in the water to by pass but maybe consider a different part of Saginaw Bay might be a better place to swim and enjoy the beach.

It leads back to a cute little tree play area and a quiet space to look out at bird feeders. There is also a fantastic river overlook in the main space near some play space.

We quite enjoyed the trail near the pond, which also offers a story walk, in addition to being able to peer at all of the plants and critters near the pond. A very nice spot!

Wow!! I love it here! My hubby planned a day trip here for us. I had never heard of Whiting Forest…read morebefore. I didn't honestly know what to expect but loved it all. The canopy walk just blew us away. I love the hammock area where you can sit suspended above the ground, that was my favorite. It was so unique and interesting as were the other areas they had to climb into. Besides the beauty that surrounded us everywhere. The thing that really stuck out to us was how well the whole area was taken care of. The gating was clean, no spiders or cobweb's hanging anywhere, as is the case most places. And for someone who hates spiders. I can't tell you how much it's appreciated. If you are looking for pricing. It's $10 a person $2 for students. Or $20 a year per person. We had purchased a day ticket. But after 10 minutes knew that we had to change that. So before we left we went and purchased the year passes!! This also includes the Dow Gardens
