This is one of my favorite nature trails in Ann Arbor. So peaceful! It is right next door to Gallup Park, so you can hit two parks with one stone! The trail runs through a forested area and then along a beautiful river. This is a good place to pray and spend some quiet intimate moments with God our loving Father! There are restrooms in this park.

Perfect place to get out of the river after tubing from the Argo Cascades. Little ramp just to the left of the bridge. And parking is available right there.To get to that parking area You have to go into the Gallup overflow parking when youre driving there.And the current is still flowing about one mile an hour to get you there so you dont have to get out too soon.

Great, level walking trails. Not crowded on Sunday afternoon this time of year. However, about 1/2 visitors were NOT wearing face masks on trails. Very inconsiderate of other visitors.

This is a great nature area. You feel very secluded and there are great views of the river. There are plenty of benches to sit on and the pathways are pretty nice although they can get a little bit muddy sometimes if it rains a lot.

There was a nice short trail that my husband and I took your dachshund on who seemed to get lots of interesting smells! it was a well maintained park with respectful visitors and lots of plant life! would recommend for a nice walk or to even kayak on the water, as many people seemed to be enjoying that activity as well!

Wonderful place! Lots of different habitats. I saw wood ducks, hawks, wrens, woodpeckers, herons, egrets, and more! Easy, flat trails.

A great place for walks, but a bit wet this time of the year.

A fantastic place to go birding especially during migration! Since it is directly across from Gallup park, it makes it very easy to explore both parks! Plenty of shade along the paths as well as an opportunity to get right next to the river to see more birds or plenty of people kayaking, canoeing or floating along on the current.

A great place for a relaxing quite walk or take your bike to burn some calories or a perfect place to enjoy nature ; this place offers all these options. If you have young kids, the adjacent Gallup park offers play areas , picnic shelters and boating ( currently not available due to COVID19 ). The overall walking / biking trails run for many miles along huron river on both sides. There are some unmarked fishing spots if that is your interest. Most of spring / summer and early dall weekends are quite crowded but weekdays are not. You may get to see many birds, small mamals and reptiles if you are lucky. Overall, its a perfect spot for relaxing walk. Please check the current regulations before you visit.

There is a lot of nature around as the name implies. There are awesome views of the river, marshlands, and two woodlands. One woodland is more open and has a lot of squirrels and chipmunks. The other is denser and has a awesome wooden walkway. If you take the Northern path you will get a really cool view of the marsh and can hear many frogs. You may see people in the south in kayaks or fly fishing in the water.
