Traverse City | Old Mission Peninsula, Grand Traverse County
Hiking Trails | Snowshoeing Trails
The mosaic of habitat types at Pyatt Lake offers refuge to a wide variety of animal and plant species. More than 250 plant species have been identified on the property, and each spring orchids and trillium carpet the ground in a sea of color. Migrating waterfowl use the lake as a resting area, and warblers, winter wrens, woodpeckers, and owls all flourish in the maturing forest.
Pyatt Lake Nature Preserve is located just 20 minutes north of Traverse City on the Old Mission Peninsula.
