Arthur Latham Park — Attraction in Millington Township

My boyfriend and I came here last January. We didn't wake up that morning with the intention of going; we were actually planning on going to Snowfest in Frankenmuth. But after being stuck on Main St for almost an hour with no hope of finding parking, we escaped Little Bavaria as fast as we could to avoid the rush of people. We drove away somewhat without a destination. It was a nice day, so I decided to look up "nature trail near me." This is what came up in the search.

We weren't expecting much, but what we did experience was certainly interesting. I'm assuming because it was mid January that the nature trails hadn't really been touched in a while. I would say Blair Witch Project was inspired by these trails if I didn't know better. We found a meadow with abandoned auditorium style seating, facing the center fire pit. Is that where the witches and wizards of Millington, Michigan meet? It was in my mind, that day. (The mages were even kind enough to have handicapped accessible seats!)

My favorite things were the "nature" and "fitness" signs. Not "nature trail continues this way," just "nature." Sometimes the directions were even more ambiguous. A sort of "choose your own adventure," if you will.

We really got a kick out of the "fitness challenges" we came across. Even more bemusing were the sprawl of disc golf nets, the only thing that assisted is in figuring out which direction the "trail" was in. We somehow found our way to a small babbling brook. Which was actually a very nice place to have a picnic, or maybe a seánce. Or heck, maybe both!

Anyways, I thought the whole park had a sort of "Midwest Gothic" charm to it. It had equal parts "small town in Michigan" and "Stephen King-esque inspiration" to it. I'm sure it's much less haunted...

I have been in a kick to Google and stop at dog parks while I'm out working throughout Southeast MI and I love this park, way off the beaten path the park is older I can tell but the tree that have grown in a very nice, the whole park looks great to be honest... plenty of stuff for people of all ages... only down side is there was no "Pooh" bags etc yo clean up aftert dogs... I should just start carrying my own.

Park feels like being in nature for sure, can hear geese and...

Ok. So I've been to Latham Park before with the grandkids (and they really enjoy the zip line) but this was my first time playing the disc golf course. The layout is fairly good with signs along the way. Some holes have dirt tee boxes, some have mats and others have concrete. Fairways are mostly narrow and through the woods. Accuracy is a must. Bring mosquito spray. We played the front 18 but we were told there are another 9 holes out back. Since we didn't play those I...
