The Pine River at Chippewa Nature Center

To control the camera press the "Start Control" button then use the scroll bars to pan, tilt and zoom or select a preset view from the drop-down list at the bottom of the window. If someone is already controlling the camera you will have to wait in line and a timer will count down to your turn. You must have java installed to use the webcam.

Note:

The presets on the camera are still not working properly. We are working on getting this fixed. Meanwhile you can control the camera and watch things green-up! 

The owl nest is mostly hidden behind the leaves now, but you might get a glimpse of mom flying in for feeding. The owlets will fledge any day now.

Upstream: As the Pike swims, the Pine river begins 100 miles upstream, flowing from Pine Lake (South of Remus in Mecosta County), through Alma, dropping 370 feet, it drains 390 square miles.

Down Stream: Only 200 yards away, the Pine River joins the Chippewa River. A Walleye would swim another 3 miles to reach the Tittabawassee at the Tridge, and 51 miles to the Saginaw Bay in Bay City, which is only 30 feet lower than here.
