Loda Lake Wildflower Sanctuary
The Loda Lake Wildflower
Sanctuary found its beginnings in 1938 when the
US Forestry Service invited the Federated Garden
Club of Michigan to participate in creating a
sanctuary for native Michigan plants. The area
consists of a small lake, a marsh and wooded
area. There are over 150 different species of
plants, wildflowers, trees and vegitation marked
with posts that correspond to the trail guide
available. The trail is about 1.5 miles long. A
picnic area with grills and an outhouse is
available for use by the trailhead. The sanctuary
is located about 7 miles north of White Cloud.
Head north out of White Cloud on M-37 and turn
west at 5 Mile Road, then turn north onto Felch
Ave and drive til you see the sign below. The
entrance is right in front of the sign.
