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...

I definitely will come back! Such...

You may see people in the south in kayaks or fly fishing...
