Deer Marsh Interpretive Trail [Wildlife Viewing Area] - U.S. Forest Service (906) 852-3500. From M-28 in Sidnaw drive south on Sidnaw Road about 8.5 miles to Ste. Kathryn Campground. Turn right (west) and proceed about 100 feet to the site entrance on the left side of the road. Novice and intermediate-skilled hikers will enjoy a close look into a northern wetland ecosystem. The mostly level terrain traverses through forest and wetland habitats snaking in and out of the main body of Deer Marsh. The main trailhead is within the Lake Ste. Kathryn Campground, which provides rustic camping, restrooms, drinking water, and swimming. There is no drinking water on the trail proper. Thirteen artistic interpretive signs describe many of the incredible creatures you may encounter. Viewing platforms and benches are along the trail. The trail is accessible with slopes averaging 5%, and a fiber chipped surface partially graveled. The trail is a loop approximately 3.1 miles long, covering over 300 acres. Families with children should allow about four hours for viewing and hiking. Deer Marsh is brimming with a wide variety of wetland wildlife. Hooded mergansers, wood ducks, great blue herons, American bitterns, bald eagles, ospreys, beavers, river otters, and white-tailed deer are popular. Be on the lookout for black-backed woodpeckers and boreal chickadees. You may also experience a rare sighting of trumpeter swans, in the area. Black bear, pine marten, and eastern gray wolves are visitors to Deer Marsh. Fall color is fantastic in mid to late September.
