Really enjoyed the park! Primarily walked. Took the path to Argo, and crossed the river and back to the park. I also walked most of the disc golf course. I was impressed how well it was marked and the multiple tees for each hole. I labeled the closest tee as senior tees so I can feel good using them.

I came here back in the middle of December to meet up with my buddy to fly drones. I had just got mine recently before that. He suggested that I meet him here. I have to say I was impressed with this park. Its a beautiful park. I cant wait to come back out here when the weather is warmer.

Great walking trail along the river. This park has some nice trails but its developed with a disc golf course and bike pass in the walk takes you into a more industrial area.

A beautiful park right off the 23/14 freeways. Great for biking, trail walking, running... It is also an easy entrance point for a canoe or kayak. There is a Frisbee Golf Course, a dirt biking course (with big mounds) tucked in here too. It is not on the map but it is there. People often come here to fish under the freeway or along the banks. Today is a quiet lovely summer evening and it is a perfect place to be. Someone had even put locks on the bridge (like the love locks bridge in Paris).

My boys love the BMX bike track. We enjoy walking the trails and playing disc golf. Sometimes it is very crowded.

Great place to disc golf, been taking my kids here lately and they always have fun, just dont loose your disc in the woods! Cant beat the price either as its free!

Bandemer is a very nice 9 hole disc golf course. The course has lots of woodchips which is nice. The course is well maintained and the parking lot is 10 feet from the course.

Great walking trails, disc golf course and a perfect place to be in the water. This park has easy access to the Huron River for dropping a kayak or canoe. Down river is Argo, crew, and a dam. Bring the whole family and enjoy one of Ann Arbors many outdoor parks.

Nice (long) peaceful park. Good walking trails, good parking & canoe/kayak storage rental is available from the city. Also shelters are available to rent. Nice physical buffer from the disc golf. Lovely views of the river, pretty clean composting toilets (I have kids & have been to events here, gotta think of these things!). Great star, storm & cloud spotting at night. Doesnt feel like its in Ann Arbor to sit on the docks at night & watch stars. Picture includes part of the dock.

BMX dirt jumps were rutted out, overgrown, and not indicated on wayfinding signage. Stopped on way through town for our son to ride there. Seems they had been sweet lines at one point but we were very disappointed.

Review №26

A short 9 hole course, odd layout for the tees/baskets, and a fair bit of walking/jogging traffic that impedes slightly into the course. Parking is close and free, so thats a large plus!

Review №35

One of the prettiest views from a freeway underpass Ive ever seen. Love the beautiful views of Bird Hills, Argo Nature Area, Argo Dam, Argo Cascades, Huron River and the skyline. Trail gets busy with bikes and runners, young/learner cyclists can be a little overwhelmed. Good views of people illegaly crossing railroad tracks. It will be amazing when you can connect to Bird Hills, Barton Nature Area, the Treeline and the Michcon development. Dam crossing is way too narrow and is highly treacherous when ice is present.

It was kind of hard to find. But that kind of gives it a secluded and secretive nature. Which is needed in a Hidden Gem kind of place.

Review №44

Lots to do and a lot going on. People disk golfing, fishing alongside the riverbank, jogging, etc. Large enough that you can still lose yourself in it, if you prefer seclusion.

Beautiful well kept park with an interesting little village and a river running through it. We had a great time and will return again soon.

For years Ive been going to University of Michigan Hospital and was always seeing this park from the highway. I always thought it looked so beautiful. So finally dropped down and it didnt disappoint.First there is the river with plenty of easily accessible areas for kayaks. They even have rentable kayak lockers.There is a disc golf course in a wooded area that looked fun and challenging.There is paved trails for bikers. There is also a really nice dirt track for bikes with great hills and jumps. I was shocked I didnt see a soul out there tearing it up.Easily packed trails will wind you along the river with many smaller trails that will get you down to nice fishing spots.I didnt get too far but found a beautiful pond they use for study that was full of sunning turtles, beautiful birds, the music of calling frogs and birds and buzzing damsel and dragon flies. I even got into a staring contest with a muskrat.All the beauty you expect from wooded riverland in Michigan. Its a large and amazing park system with ample parking, picnic areas, clean bathrooms (plumbing free type so remember hand wipes) and a large bonfire spit so they definitely have scheduled activities.Its become my favorite spot to unwind after a day of cancer testing down at the University. An absolutely phenomenal park.

Considering the running water so near its surprising to see so many mosquitoes, but otherwise a great trail for running. Needs better/more accessible park entrances

For getting your steps in, talking your dog for a walk, playing disc golf or launching your watercraft, this is a great Park, near my home, asphalt trail as well as woodsie ones. Runners, bikers and walkers all can enjoy the river view while doing their thing! UM rowers launch along this part of the Huron River.

This is a wonderful hidden gem of a disc golf course. 9 holes throughout the woods and red, white and blue tees! Each look at the basket is interesting and unique to the others. Glow disc golf is done here.

A great place to run and enjoy riverside activities. The disc golf course is a local favorite. Three difficulties in a wooded setting, but with no elevation changes. Casual glow golf every week almost year round. Google maps HURON BRIDGE PARK or youll end up on the wrong side of the river, park, and highway, going in circles.

For the disc-golf course: Nice 9-hole (3 cement tees per basket) course in the woods. Each tee is a unique shot. Playable in nearly all weather, year round, and caters to any skill level.

Bandemer Park is a gorgeous running location. On any weekend morning, you can frolic along the path, passing people walking dogs and powerwalkers. The river provides a serene landscape and distracts from the pain of being on a marathon-training length route.I cant wait to enjoy the park more once the frost thaws and the leaves develop some beautiful foliage to shade the path.
