Granger Wetlands Wildlife Sanctuary — Attraction in Granger Township

MCPD's newest addition (as of early 2024) has so much potential!

The best time to come would be a cooler summer day (not much shade) when wildlife has peaked. If they can improve the trail condition, this will be a 5-star MCPD...

In the loop there are a few pond-like areas that I'm hoping the wildlife will take up resident in. Flat nice easy walk. Dogs are not allowed. No...
