Ionia State Recreation Area, Protected recreation area in Michigan, US

The 4,500-acre Ionia State Recreation Area features open fields, hardwood forests, pine plantations, rolling hills, and four miles of Grand River floodplain.

The Michigan Department of Natural Resources established this protected area to maintain the natural resources and provide outdoor recreational opportunities for local communities.

The recreation area serves as an educational center where visitors learn about environmental conservation through organized programs and hands-on experiences in nature.

Visitors need to obtain a Recreation Passport for vehicle entry, which grants access to designated hiking trails, campgrounds, and fishing spots throughout the area.

The Audubon Society has documented 199 bird species within the recreation area, making it a prime location for bird observation and wildlife photography.
