Such a good place to take a walk/hike. Nice trails, beautiful river, and a creek or two. My boyfriend & I have walked here a few times now, and we really enjoy it. Aman Park is just a nice place to enjoy the woods and outdoors.

My kids and I love a good hike and this place lived up to it. We particularly enjoyed the trail along the creek. Couple of picnic tables near trail entrances perfect for a lunch before a hike to work it off.

Definitely the best park for a hike in nature within the Grand Rapids metro area. Only 15 minutes from the city center, it has beautiful scenic trails. The variety of trails will keep you coming back as well as the gorgeous stream, the diverse forest, and the wonderful wildlife. I grew up going to this park several times a year and continue to this very day. Also not overcrowded.

A lot of interesting trails with a small river running through the whole park. The best time to visit this park is in the spring. There are always a ton of wildflowers blooming.

One of the best for spring flowers! Trillium and Virginia Blue bell. A small creek and winding trails. Be aware of poison ivy off trail.

Review №13

What a lovely place for a walk! The trails are clear and well marked, there are rubber mats placed in uphill/downhill areas that can get a bit slippery in mud or ice and there is a stream running through the woods. Many trails are available to make for a lengthy hike if you so choose.

Open during Covid19 pandemic!Wonderful, peaceful place to hike. I would recommend. I wish there were more signs stating where you were at times.

A beautiful hike perfect for the whole family. You can easily vary the style and duration of your walk using the multitude of criss-crossing trails, through forest and flower and field and river.TL;DR - Pitter patter, lets get at er.

We love Aman Park summer or winter! Strongly suggest taking a phone pic of the map before leaving the trail head. The trails are color coded on the map but letter coded on the trail. You wont get truly lost but you may go much farther than intended or have to back track because you missed a section you wanted to hike. Mostly flat with some moderate terrain.

Review №25

It was a nice little hike, I liked the view of the river but there were parts awfully close to the road which is less relaxing. There were also a lot of people walking with dogs off leash which is a problem because I was there walking a dog that does not do well with other dogs. I purposely picked a place that wouldnt have dogs off leash but clearly that was not the case.

I really enjoy hiking here, its one of my favorite trails. The trails are mapped out with markers along the way. Its so Beautiful, serene and quiet. Its a nice escape from the busy city

Review №42

Very nice waking trails between Allendale and Standale. Longest trail is 1.5 miles with just enough dips and valleys to keep it interesting. Never very busy so its easy to have a quiet and peaceful walk on your own or with a loved one. The trails are well marked and easy to follow. Beautiful places for pictures along the way.

Visited Aman Park for the first time in early May and the trilliums were in full bloom. The hiking paths are well worn and we enjoyed the views along Sand Creek. I’m looking forward to cross country skiing in the winter.

This is a great park for walks or runs. It is never crowded, has plenty of trails, and is large enough to fit most needs. Dont forget big spray though. The water is nice to see, but the bugs bite most of the summer around the ponds.

This is a beautiful Park, it will make you feel like youre way out in the middle of nowhere but its really close to Standale. Great place to go for a family hike

Review №52

I really like this park and trail system, but flooding has made some sections impassable. I hope spring allows bridge building to occur to reconnect the North and South ends of the trails.

Beautiful park, however, desolate. Which means have to be safe. Have pepper spray and make sure cell phone is on and working.

Review №66

Nice variety of trails in a beautiful setting. Take a picture of the trail map before you go hiking so you can remember where you want to go. There are a few picnic tables and benches around, but if youre going to use them you may want to bring something to sit on since the wood is not in very good condition.

Love this park especially when the 1st fluffy snow hits! Even in the fall its super pretty. There are different trails and streams with bridges for those Kodak moments.Parking lot is available and never been crowded when Ive been there. Im pretty sure you can bike there too, although its better suited for walking.

Review №74

My family and I love this park, however today had a strange experience with a fellow hiker and wanted to put it out there. A strange man walked up behind my daughter and I silently on the bridge and stood very close and commented on a bruise on my daughters leg without a hello or anything. It was strange, then he noticed my husband and other children up ahead and proceeded to them and our dog was imeadiately spooked by him. Our dog is a very friendly laberdoodle and was afraid of this man, not usually afraid of anyone. They guy asked a few more strange prying questions then walked ahead and left. We later saw him driving out in a white truck, and it seemed pretty normal. We will continue to frequent this park, but will be bringing the pepper spray next time. Stay safe hikers!

Review №91

I have visited this park my whole life. It is an amazing place to walk the dog, go on ungroomed cross country ski trails, go snowshoeing, or just bring your loved ones a walk in the woods. There is usually not a lot of people around, so your walks are very quiet and you can listen to nature. I love aman park, its a blessing to have, its especially beautiful in the early weeks of spring when tons of wildflowers bloom by the river.

Worthwhile going just for the trillium, if not the rest of the spring wildflowers. Great trails, lovely place. We also found jack-in-the-pulpit, trout lilies, Virginia blue bells, buttercups, violets and more.

Steep gorges, flowing water. Lots of flora. It is possible to get thoroughly lost and mauled by mosquitos but also to emerge with a basket of wild mushrooms for dinner. Pretty wild for being so close to town.
