Come out and join the community on a wildlife-centered hike west of Kalamazoo! Wolf Lake Fish Hatchery is a wildlife preserve that also contains a show pond stocked with a ton of fish! Fish species in the pond include chinook salmon, steelhead trout, northern pike, northern muskellunge, walleye, largemouth bass, a variety of other sunfish and lake sturgeon.
This preserve also has contains a number of wetlands, a perfect habitat for many migrating bird species. Bring your binoculars if you like birding!
This will likely be a slower-paced hike, with plenty of stops along the way at overlooks to search for wildlife. We will be covering between 2.5 and 3 miles over the two hour time slot, with time to look into the show pond. There is also a visitor center here with some exhibits about the fish and the history of fishing, if you're into that. Note that fishing is not allowed outside of specific events.
If you have any questions, please email Alex@lgbtqoutdoors.com
