The annual Pointe Mouillee Waterfowl Festival, a tradition since 1947, is set for Sept. 15-16 at Pointe Mouillee State Game Area in Brownstown Township. This family-friendly event offers activities – such as dog-jumping competitions, archery challenges, an arts and crafts show, kids’ games and much more – for nature lovers and waterfowlers alike.

Located at the mouth of the Huron River at Lake Erie, Pointe Mouillee State Game Area is one of the largest freshwater marsh restoration projects in North America and one of Michigan’s premier waterfowl hunting and viewing destinations. All proceeds from the annual festival benefit wetland restoration and wildlife habitat improvement at the state game area.
