A very nice, large nature area. It seems like its all woods and its also quite hilly. The path has lots of roots and stones so be careful not to trip!

Trails are crazy confusing if your dont know them but theyre beautiful. I found the trails to be challenging but not overly so. I would definitely go back is I had more of the day to explore. Its a really beautiful area. I took lots of photos of the woods as I walked and there were so many great little spots. I went here after therapy and it was the perfect place to recenter myself after a tough session. If I hadnt gotten quite lost, I wouldve given 5 stars.

I enjoyed the day here. It has some nice hills and many criss-crossing trails so you can really get a nice workout if you want it. The only downside was the traffic noise at the beginning. Its pretty loud, but once you get to the inner parts of the park its quite nice. Ill go again. I gave it 4 stars only because of the traffic noise.

Nice set of groomed trails through the nature area. Easy to follow paths and nice view of the huron river along the way. Beautiful view in the fall time.

Peaceful challenging run under a beautiful canopy. Why challenging you ask? Hills, roots, rocks a true nature trail. Orientation to the highway and Huron River Drive make the trails easy to navigate as well as signs that mark the trails. Wonderful surprises at every turn from cool man made huts, sitting benchs, Indian pipes, wild flowers and deer.Why stop at Bird Hills? Add another three and run the loop at Argo!

Beautiful hiking place. It feels like a maze of trails. We planned to follow a certain trail, but ended up with an additional mile due to the extensive number of trails crossing each other.Having said that, the trails are great! No bikes! We walked to the Argo Livery and back, about 7 miles total.The park is unmarked - no sign - so following the Google maps is important. And parking is tight.I will definitely go back.

I liked it here a lot, once you are far enough in you can barely hear traffic from the freeway and it feels very secluded. It is more of a moderate hike in my opinion definitely not super easy lots of ups and downs. I wish that there were some trails maps along the trails because I got lost and had to use my gps and ended up about a mile away from where I needed to be. All in all very nice place

A great moderate trail right in the heart of the city and yet so quiet, serene and tranquil. I have seen multiple deer, rabbits, and rare birds while walking these trails, interlacing the Huron river , there are plenty of spots for a decent trek.one of the best kept secrets of Ann Arbor.

My wife and I and two daughters took a long walk here on Saturday. The West-most path was a little muddy. It goes by that little creek. We could not stay late enough to hear the birds chirping. My daughters enjoyed climbing on the one large tree. The walking paths are nice, spring leaves over dirt and playful rocks here and there. This is Bird Hills, and so the walking paths go up and down hills. We saw a few people during our walk, but not many. Please like my review.

Be sure to have a map or cell phone with GPS handy. There are a few unmarked trails that will disorient a free spirit if they arent paying close attention to their surroundings. Also, the southern end of the nature area abuts a very busy road; the traffic noise can be intrusive.

One of the best trails Ive been on. Will get a good workout with a lot of elevation transitions. Lack good checkpoint markings so better keep an eye on the marking polls that shows which road/drive you are headed towards.

Allows dogs, people are mostly courteous, mix of trail runners and hikers/walkers.

Such a great place for a short hike. Beautiful any time of year.

This nature area is gorgeous! There are so many trails and its super pet friendly. There are benches were you can sit and relax. I love this place!

It was really nice here. The trails are pretty straight forward and you really cant get lost. Sadly you hear a lot of the surrounding roads. Its not hard hike at all and feels more like a nice stroll. Would go there again if I was in the area.

Very hilly with lots of criss crossing trails. Fun for walking, hiking, or running.

Great urban park for hiking! The city of Ann Arbor does an excellent job with all their parks, but this one is the best for hiking. Lots of hills make it a great workout.

Very nice trails for a little bit of hiking. The trees form a nice canopy so you feel like youre immersed in the forest.

Nice area. Be warned, its called hills for a reason. Only downside is traffic noise from M14.

The most majestic of places to hike.

Wonderful woodland park. Some noise from M14 on the south side, but otherwise very pleasant with lots of short trails.

Great hiking path in downtown Ann Arbor. Hilly and nicely wooded.

Very nice, shaded trails, small climbs (some noise from highway)..

Beautiful trail, poor markers and no map. Had to use phone for navigation which kind of defeats the purpose of enjoying nature.

More diverse terrain for hiking. Not so flat. Beautiful !

Nice natural area. Lotta paths but not too many man made structures (which is good). Really nice walking area

Nice hiking trails but signage has faded to uinreadable.

Beautiful forest. Trails are not that long and are good for easy level hikes.

A nice wildwood place for walk. It’s like a adventure in the forest

Very nice if you want to take a hike in the woods and nature hikes

Always a delightful area to hike. It easily connects to the Barton Dam hiking trails area as well. Nice and hilly. We have seen a variety of songbirds and other birds here.

I love this trail. Beautiful, quiet, a great trail to walk with my 4 legged baby.

This place is beautiful!! Words cant express how lovely it is. This place is great for hiking, walking,running or just enjoying the nature. I loved it and i will be coming back!!

We walked here just a bit while visiting AA. Im so pleased that the park exists, and we saw people using it, and theres an awesome tall Teepee in one spot. My only great sigh is about the noise from the near highway, which is just overwhelming. If this area invested in a sound barrier, it would be perfect.

Beautiful view and great walk!

Great park with many trails to pick from.

Lots of paths that allow you to wander. One of the paths you get a lot a car noise, but the rest of them, you cant hear it at all.

Best park in Ann Arbor (if you want to be one with nature). Quiet. Peaceful. Amazing place if you want to get away from adulting. Lol :) 10/10

Lots of trails, close to the highway little loud, and overall great place for hiking.

So far is nice except i have not seen any porta john. Parking lot sometimes busy and full

Such a beautiful, peaceful place. I come here to enjoy the quiet of nature. A great place for walking or running.

Gorgeous hilly forest with plenty of trails right in Ann Arbor. Parking and trail heads at multiple entrances. Lots of hikers with dogs. Kids younger than school age may have a difficult time with some parts of the trails and/or may not be able to hike a full loop (depending on your route).

Great hike.

This was a great place for a hike and bird watching. The scenery is serene and beautiful. If you are in Ann Arbor it is definitely worth a stop.

Nice, quiet, scenic woods and hills. Great for hiking, running, bird watching; well-maintained.

Neat, hills, woods and trails

Favorite place to hike in Ann Arbor. The trails go through some hills, which is great for hiking and getting a real workout in.

Beautiful park! Well maintained trails. They arent marked but all seem to lead back to each other.

Beautiful place to hike. Lots of elevation, trails to choose and scenic views.

Its beautiful and not a trail for beginners

Plenty of twists and turns to do a good wandering!

Great place to hike, bird watch & maybe even picnic. Beautiful views!

Very nice area with lots of trails.

I see deer and other wildlife every time I run these trails. If your into trail running or nature photography this place is a must!

We have been here before for Xmas day lunch and did not disappoint, we had a lovely table spacious, horderves on the table when we arrived, we ordered drinks, a bottle of water on the table a nice touch, then our starters we brought to us, very tasty the French onion soup superb. We went up to get our main a delicious carvery, my son a vegetarian was served a really nice goats cheese tart. Then our pudding was served at our table very tasty Xmas pudding, then homemade mince pies, coffee and cream and then chocolates. It was brilliant and very reasonably priced, we have eaten out Xmas dinner for the last twenty years and this is definitely our number 1.

Awesome views

Great hilly nature park for hiking

Not friendly for people who are either not fit or suffer from knee ankle and hip issues. Steep stepped areas.

A great spot to hike, especially if you have a dog. The trails are pretty open, and the area never gets too busy. Theres a parking lot, so you dont have to park on the street or anything. I also really like the hilly landscape -- you can get some good views, and its good exercise.

I love going here. Theres so many interconnecting trails and the woods are absolutely gorgeous. My dog loves to go for a walk here.

Great place for trail running

This is a beautiful land preserve in Washtenaw county. The trails are well maintained and clear through all seasons. We have walked here all year round. There are hills, but also options for routes that are less hilly if you choose. It makes a nice circut for a trail run or a family hike. Dogs are also welcome.

Hilly place! Great for cross training

Nice area for runners, despite the hills. Besides, it connects different nature areas. It has a highway on one of the sides, but the rest is quiet

What a wonderful place to wander or trail run. Large enough to feel spacious but no real risk of getting lost.

Such a beautiful park

We love our local park ️

Beautiful wooded, hilly park. Lots of wildlife, great for long walks. Limited parking at some entrances, no water or restrooms.

Great place to walk, run, or bike. Lots of beautiful, natural scenery to enjoy.

Nice long trails, no litter and not crowded around midday. Newport Rd parking is smaller and more hidden/trailheads aren’t as great to start from

Beautiful trails and so much larger than I guessed.

Amazing. Well kept

Awesome trails

A great place for a brief respite in nature. You can always hear M-14 through the trees, but at least you cant really see it. And this spot is usually peaceful and empty. Its a nice spot for a quick walk.

Great place for a walk with your pup!

Great walking/hiking trails, not 100% stroller friendly, but mostly okay for little legs

Awesome park! Especially if you like the Blair Witch movies!

Great place for a quick forest bath near the city. Good for dogs...even blind dogs can follow the wider trails easily.

Very good place to have fun.

Beaty nature

Sweet park, beautiful forest. A nice spot to get away from the hustle of A2.

Nice place to hike for any skill level.

I LOVE this place. Lots of great diagonal and horizontal trails to roam. Beautiful, peaceful, serene. Cant wait for spring to start springing there

One of the BEST places to hike when you want feel surrounded by nature without traveling far away from town.

Nice nature area with lots of well traveled trails on a hilly environment. Ironically I didnt see very many birds but there is definitely no shortage of squirrels or chipmunks to say the least. Too many people come here for my liking but Im the type that likes places where you dont see anyone. Parking outside the gate where we entered was limited but there are plenty of other spots to park if full. All in all the entire area is beautiful and should be visited if you enjoy hiking as I do. Enjoy!!

Several entrance and exit points. Always a lovely spot for a hike and close to other parks that are in easy walking distance.

Amazing park with great hiking trails and connections to the Huron river and pedestrian bridges. Highly recommend in any season! Only downfall is the trailhead and its proximity to the highway!

I used to absolutely love bird hills. It is gorgeous. But now there are so many people visiting that it has lost a lot of its peacefulness.

Nice hiking options. Can bring dog on leash to which is a plus. There are bugs here so get wear some repel or similar products esp in summer

BIRDS AREN’T REAL

Hills! the hills! The beautiful hills!

Really cool nature area. No bikes are allowed so its really peaceful.

Nice place to go for a walk and enjoy a nice smoke.

Cool nature area and great for photography! The sites there were great. Good place to go on a hike or sit on the bench for a peaceful place.

Amazing scenery, It is like a smaller version of the Pottawattamie (Potto) trail.

Love it! Very Hilly, beautiful woods! Great place for hiking or trail running.

The noise of the highway tends to cover up all but the closest birds (and the cicadas) but the trees are beautiful and if you get off the wider paths, there is abundant variety of understory plant life. The hills are magnificent too.

Nice walk with dog, and little hilly and steep in places but paths and trails are well maintained. Nice foliage , plots and a little wildlife.....Enjoy !!

Beautiful park with lovely trails.

Great trails for running and interval training
