South Field (KW50) – Fishing, camping, biking, hiking, paddling, horseback riding or even looking for mushrooms? These are just a few of the activities Michigan offers throughout the state.
The Michigan Department of Natural Resources was established to provide resources for the conservation, protection, management, use, and enjoyment of the state’s natural and cultural resources. An important task of the department is the sustainable use of the state’s recreational areas.
