Directions: 66 miles S of Wausau/16 miles southeast of Wisconsin Rapids. The 6th Avenue Marsh is located on 6th Avenue just north of its intersection with Aniwa Lane and Apache Ave. Driving along the length of 6th Avenue between County Hwy D on the north and Archer Ave. on the south is usually quite productive. This is part of an active cranberry growing operation. Be careful how you park and view birds from the side of the road so as not to trespass or block farm vehicles. The cranberry bog owners are not shy about informing you of this.
