Nelson Park — Attraction in Mount Pleasant

Nelson Park is one of the many parks connected to each other. It's offers relaxing trails that are wheel chair accessable. Anyone can explore the connected paths and there are signs warning of an active train. The park hours are 8am-11pm however it does open before then. No overnighter parking.

You will spot folks floating down the Chippewa river by tube. There is a business you can contact. There is at least one man made beach but there are other beach fronts in other parks.
