Marquette County, Wisconsin: attractions, historic sites, parks, nature centers, festivals, museums |
 | | Almost two-thirds of the County's 320,000 acres are covered by primitive oak and pine forests alive with an abundance of wildlife, and vast expanses of grassy marshlands, vibrant with the sights and sounds of thousands of nesting and migrating birds. |
 | | In spring, the county's woods and wetlands come alive with the sights and sounds of hundreds of thousands of birds; rare and endangered plants spring new growth, trout dart hungrily after the first emerging waterflies, ruffed grouse labor to attract their mates, "drumming" their hearts out on fallen logs, and delicate wildflowers burst into bloom. |
 | | From the air, Marquette County presents a mosaic of rivers, lakes, wetlands and muskeg, ranging in size from one acre to the 7,000 acre Grand River Wildlife Area. |
