Habitat: Open Water, Beach, Mixed Coniferous Forest, Marsh.
Best Birds: Lake Michigan and its shoreline should be checked for loons, grebes, ducks, including scoters, and shorebirds like Willet, Whimbrel, and Piping Plover. Within the park there is a State Natural Area that features rare dunes and intertidal wetlands. Walking one of the protective cordwalks through the dunes may produce Clay-colored Sparrow. The campground and the Woodland Dunes Nature Trail at the south end of the park may produce woodpeckers, owls, thrushes, and warblers. To view the Black River Marsh, there is a boardwalk near the south campground and a bridge on the Old Park Road near the north campground. Both are good spots for ducks, herons, rails, bitterns, and Sedge and Marsh Wrens.
On the east side of the entrance station there is a small fountain pond and many feeders that attract crossbills and finches in winter.
Directions: 6.5 miles S of Sheboygan and County Highway V. From I-43, take Exit #120 and follow V two miles east to parking lot (43.665016, -87.719736).
