Nolar Bend Recreation Area — Attraction in Dearborn Heights

The Nolar Bend Recreation area is a spacious location.  There is a small children’s play structure in an open field.  There are picnic tables at the edge of the area.  There is plenty of parking.  It is maintained well.

The river runs close by here and there is indeed a bend in the river.  It is the Rouge so caution must be taken near the water.  Some of the banks are high and the bottom of the river is uncertain with sandy areas interspersed with mud.  It is a beautiful river.  Just treat it with respect.  Check for any notices about water contact.

It is a great place for photography, Frisbee, picnics and other outdoor activities.
