Here are some 1994 directions to the Haehnle Preserve. They still work! The Haehnle Preserve is in Jackson County, Michigan, the next county west of Washtenaw County (Ann Arbor). In Toledo take I-280 north to I-75 SOUTH to I-475 West to U.S. 23 North to I-94 West. Bruce Bowman >From the east, take I-94 westbound to the Race Rd. exit. This is the 3rd exit after entering Jackson County. Go N on Race Rd about 3 miles until it ends at Seymour Rd. Turn left (W). The Phyllis Haehnle Memorial Sanctuary is located just off the N side of Seymour Rd about 2 miles W of where you entered it from Race Rd. It is posted. There is an empty field that serves as a parking lot. After parking, walk E from the parking lot to the Sanctuary entry, then follow the trail about 200 yards NE up a slight rise from which you overlook a marshland and lake (one of many called Mud Lake in this part of the world). The cranes may be there in small numbers, but main arrival is just before it starts to get dark. Peak numbers late October, maybe into early November, depending on weather. Binoculars are very helpful. A tele- scope even better, as the birds land some distance from the observing site on the hilltop.
