What our visitors are saying ...
Excellent nature center, trails are great and well maintained. Indoor exhibits are very well done, particularly the stand alone frog tank (look at the plants!)
Nice trails with viewable wildlife, lots of turkeys and deer. Friendly staff and great educational programming. And I love the resident rescued owls.
Great place for a calming nature walk in a busy suburban area. Nice exhibit room. Helpful staff. There is a native garden out front by the parking lot and 5 rescue owls in an enclosure just behind the main building. Walking trails totaling about 2 miles are available during daylight hours even when the building is closed.
Beautiful trails with varied natural areas and habitats. Plenty of wild animals to see, if you walk quietly. A real gem in Oakland County.
It's a little slice of natural paradise. The trails are intertwined with the Rouge river, which is just a little creek at this location. The deer and wild turkey are abundant, and there is an owl sanctuary. There is also an indoor nature exhibit which is fun for the kids.
My kids always enjoy walking the trails looking for animals (me too). My daughter also had her birthday party here a couple years ago and it was a great experience.
Awesome place to take the whole family! Lots of beautiful flora, fauna, and vistas! Well maintained trails and a great outdoor education center with a knowledgeable staff.
This park has been my favorite place to go for a walk since I moved to the area! There are a lot of nice trails, animals, views, benches, and even a river.
First time visiting with a new friend. We both really enjoyed the trails, how well it was kept up, how friendly the staff was. We will definitely be back. It was a little treasure found not to far from home.
Cool spot for a nature lesson/hike. The staff was very helpful and informative, and we actually saw quite a bit of wildlife on the hike. Fun place to spend an afternoon. Lots to see and do here. Will definitely come back soon.
