IONIA STATE RECREATION AREA
Rolling hills, babbling brooks, open meadows, forested ridges, a lake nestled in the hills and a river winding its way through woods and fields -- that's Ionia State Recreation Area. The 4,500 acres of flat to rolling terrain is a mixture of open field, mature hardwood forest, and pine plantations. Four miles of Grand River floodplain follow the river course on the north border of the park. Dammed waterfowl floodings and other wetlands dot the park. Wildflowers abound. Birding is excellent with more than 199 species identified by the Audubon Society.
Location In Ionia County between Ionia and Saranac, this 4,500 acre State Recreation Area is easily accessible via I-96, Exit 64.
Directions
I-96 to Exit #64 (Jordan Lake Rd.), 3 MI N. to park entrance.
