South Grand River B Wade-in Area

The photo was taken from the SW corner looking north. Good open water next to smartweed with some trees to hide under.

The marsh is 11 acres of open water with natural vegetation of smartweed and millet for the ducks and geese to feed on. Early teal are attracted to this area as well as late season mallards and Canada Geese.

If the dirt road leading to the marsh is muddy the wade-in area is a 1/2 mile walk from the first parking area.

Chest waders are required to retrieve game and to place decoy spreads.

Most hunters are not willing to hunt on their own and prefer hunting from comfortable blinds out of the water leaving areas such as this underutilized.

Layout boats and portable blinds are allowed on Association wade-in areas. ATV's are permitted to haul gear and decoys to and from the blinds and wade-in areas, but must use the same roads, dirt paths and parking areas as vehicles.

The question occasionally comes up, do we allow boats with motors on our lakes and ponds without blinds? We do not allow boats larger than small johnboats that can be hauled to the lakes and wade-in areas by person or ATV because these are all working farms and access to our marshes, lakes and wade-in areas is usually difficult and not allowed by vehicle.
