The Seney Wildlife Refuge is a wetland that sits on Michigan’s Northern Peninsula between Lake Superior and Lake Michigan. The refuge is home to a wide variety of birds – sandhill cranes, bald eagles, red-winged blackbirds – and a variety of waterfowl. Other wildlife that can be spotted here include white-tailed deer, black bears, moose and river otters. This refuge is explored via car. There’s a 7-mile loop from the visitor center through the refuge.
Sounds like fun, doesn’t it?
The vast wetland of Seney stretched before us, promising wildlife encounters that, sadly, never materialized. Maybe we were there off-season as 1) construction was happening in the area and as far as I know we were the only car on the route and 2) we did not see more than a few trumpeter swans and ordinary ducks in the distance.
Sometimes the wilderness keeps its secrets and this was definitely one of those days. Bailey didn’t mind though. She enjoys a slow roll with the windows down.
