Looking to learn a little something about Michigan’s natural resources this summer? The State Park Explorer Program is a great place to start. Take
a hike, catch a fish, look and listen for birds, and get up close and personal with mammal furs and skulls. Explorer guides are stationed at 35 state parks and recreation areas around Michigan from Memorial Day through the end of August, and they host a variety of programs featuring each location’s rich and varied natural resources.
Park visitors can participate in fun and engaging hikes, games, activities and crafts, all while learning about
what makes each park special. If you have a passion for birds, join us in celebrating them during Michigan’s Feathered Friends Weekend June 16-18,
with several state parks featuring bird hikes, bird identification programs and much more.
Explorer guide programs are fun, educational and great for the whole family. Find information about all explorer guide programs throughout the summer at Michigan.gov/NaturePrograms.
