Marquette County's winding back roads offer nine different routes for both biking and hiking. View pristine pre-historic ecosystems and wildlife sanctuaries resounding with sandhill cranes, wild turkeys, and songbirds. Watch hawks, eagles and turkey vultures soar overhead. Foxes, deer and cranes gather to feed in the meadows and fields. John Muir County Park and a number of natural areas such as Observatory Hill and Liberty Bluffs also offer additional hiking trails.
For both the spring and fall migrations, Marquette County is wonderfully located to catch over 268 different species of bird. Along with locations to easily pick up supplies, wetlands for some of the best viewing around and comfortable bed and breakfasts throughout the are, Marquette County is a bird watcher's paradise!
