Tips for birding Club House Road
The Club House access road allows the only public access to woods in Apple Valley. The road, Club House, and pool are surrounded by woods that form a public park. The outdoor pool and Club House are private, except for public events. The park includes a playground and picnic area.

There is public access to the lake from the road and plenty of public parking spaces, many away from the immediate Club House area. People are also free to enter anywhere in the woods and the lake edge. Sparse trees on the lawn attract birds as do rows of shrubs lining the meadow leading to the lake. In the woods, there are brush piles and flowers that attract birds.

There has been a Red-tailed Hawk nest in this woodlot and Red-headed Woodpeckers, Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers, and many other bird species, besides the herons and waterfowl on the lake. From Donald Comis

About Apple Valley Lake
Apple Valley is a planned unit development that began in 1972 by American Central Corporation (Michigan). With only a small number of lots remaining, American Central turned over the lots and control of the common properties in 1979 to what now is the Apple Valley Property Owner’s Association.

Apple Valley covers approximately 3,770 acres covering areas both in Howard and Brown Townships.

The lake is an engineered lake formed by the Little Jelloway Creek, various active springs, and drainage from the surrounding areas. The lake reached full pool in the spring of 1972.

The lake is 3.25 miles long and covers 9.25 miles of shoreline. It is 511 acres, has an average depth of 30 feet, and a maximum depth of 70 feet. From Apple Valley Lake Property Owners Association website
