I.S. and Gertrude Sahli Nature Park — Attraction in Chippewa Township

What a lovely park! I've lived near here for 30 years and am embarassed to say that today was my first visit. I was investigating the hiking trails for a group event later this month. I found the trails (woodland roads, really) to be very well maintained and quite wide. Very comfortable for hiking with our year-round tick concerns. The trails are interconnected in a network that allows you to hike a decent distance, even though the park is rather small. I suggest you download the map from the website or snap a pic of the large map in the parking lot before you head into the woods. Most trail intersections are marked with numbered posts that are easily found on the map, even if the trail signage is missing (which it is on some posts). You won't get lost - civilization is all around you! They also have a Monarch Butterfly facility, a delightful bench structure for a family or small group chat, a picnic pavilion and a couple ponds. I'm very impressed and look forward to many...

Where they have a much higher chance as they were there. She told me they were going to be releasing them soon. We talked some more, then she decided to ask us if we wanted to release the two that were ready...I released a butterfly 🦋 ❤️ it was really awesome!! Definitely an experience...

Such a beautiful and well maintained park with awesome hiking trails. I wonder if there is a way to contact the people who maintain to let them know that the ticks are really bad. While we were there today I brushed 2 off of me and when we got home I pulled 2 off of my side that were attached. It's so well maintained that maybe if they were aware that the issue exists, they could spray the area. Not sure if that's even possible. Lol. We love it there but the...
