PHYLLIS HAEHNLE SANCTUARY - overview


Michigan Audubon’s largest bird sanctuary is located in Jackson County borders the Waterloo Recreation Area (already in the 1930's planned as a recreation area by the federal government) At 1,008 acres, it is known to attract thousands of migrating Sandhill Cranes every fall. The diversity of animal and plant life includes over 270 plant species and 200 species of birds. Benches on a hill overlooking Mud Lake Marsh provide an ideal location for viewing large numbers of cranes in October and early November. Public access to the marsh is restricted.
