Flushing Township Nature Park — Attraction in Flushing Charter Township

This really is just such a wonderful park. It’s got various types of habitat: meadow/prairie, woods, low wetlands, and of course the river. There are so many different kinds of critters in all of these. This park is probably the best birdwatching spot in Genesee County! It’s an amazing spot to see bluebirds, tree swallows, goldfinches, woodpeckers, yellow warblers, kingfishers, orioles, herons, and so, so much more. I sure do hope the management continues to maintain the natural habitat and does nothing to disturb the resident wildlife. The prairie, especially. Many songbirds and burrowing rodents depend on this park. And I encourage park goers to stay on the trails and not trample and damage sensitive flora in the park. Cars to drive especially slowly and carefully down to the kayak launch. This park is a gem and one of the very finest spots along the Flint River. There is a fair amount of littering along the banks of the river which I encourage the management to do better about preventing. Littering is such a pathetic and rotten thing to do, it angers me to no end to see beer cans along the river. Overall though this is a delightful place to walk and to see the seasons change. I love coming here after a fresh snow fall. Couldn’t recommend coming here more as long as you are respectful to the park and to the animals...

Mine and my dog's favorite park to walk at. We go on the paved path on my lunch break, to get away from my desk and it isn't dependent on weather. More trails are in the grass which are longer, a little more secluded but also can get muddy after a long rain. Tread carefully. Included at this park is also a kayak launch which I occasionally fish at and a few pavilions hidden in the back. It's a beautiful park with opportunity to sit and enjoy nature all around. Bring your binoculars for some excellent bird watching...

This is a fairly large [~2-3mi of trails?], well kept nature trail with great views of the river and challenging enough trails to keep you interested. It has a lookout point, new canoe/kayak launch, small playground area, pavilion, clean restrooms, bird watching patio, beautiful flora & fauna, educational markers, and great river front boardwalk. We make the trip many times a year with our kids to walk this nature preserve. We rarely see others there, so being crowded has never...
