This is a beautiful place! We are new Ypsilanti and just opened our cafe & gallery near by. We love taking walks along the trail. There is so much wildlife to see, my kids love it as u can tell by the video lol It is not too long of a way around the water. Takes us about 30-60 min to get back to our starting point but we definitely take our sweet time and stop to admire the scenery. There is also a nice playground at the entrance to the water/trail. Definitely one of my favorite places in Ypsilanti so far.

I was surprised when I arrived that there is an entrance fee! $3/day, but there was no one at the booth, so I didn't/couldn't pay (I arrived after 7pm, I don't know if it's normal they don't staff the booth after a certain time or if it was a fluke). I see on the satellite map view that it looks like there is a smaller parking lot off of Grove that probably doesn't charge, and the trails connect, so you could get around the fee that way (it's a small parking lot though so it might fill up). The bathrooms are spidery prison toilets... would not be pleased if I actually paid to come here. You can hear road noise from I-94 in pretty much the whole park, but in the section closest to the road, it is so loud that it would actually be hard to have a normal conversation. The accessibility isn't great either, only a portion of the walking trail is paved, and some of that needs resurfacing. There are several steeply curved bridges and also a kind of switchback portion of the trail which would all be difficult for people with less mobility. I probably won't come back to this park, if I did, I would check the booth and if it was manned I would try the Grove side because I definitely don't think it was a nice enough park to pay for.

We had so much fun here today. Long boardwalk style trails. There are a lot of trashcans throughout the park. There are also a lot of picnic tables out long the "island walk." Theres an awesome lookout to climb. There are some "well used" bathrooms and a nice new play structure. Also some charcoal grills are in the picnic area near the shelter and play structures...and also near the parking lot. Also to note, if you dont mind walking in...you dont have to pay for a $3 day pass which is sorta neat.

This gem of a park will not disappoint. The park is situated at the mouth of the Huron River dumping into Lake Ford. Apart of a larger ecosystem called the Huron River Basin, which encompasses over 1050 lakes and ponds, created by Glaciers. You will see diversity in mammals, and aquatic creatures. This area is a bit beat up, but I would still feel comfortable taking an Individual w/disabilities on the trail, including mobility devices such as a wheel chair or walker.

I took my parents visited at a foggy morning, not much people around. Trees surrounding the parking lot are colorful. The boardwalk is long and dry, not slippery. The lake looks quiet and calm. We saw Asian carps, swan, gooses, and other birds. There is a hill run down from the pathway to the parking lot, it's a bit challenge for the elder people. Anyway, we enjoyed it a lot.

Fun playplace for the kids. Right next to a large pavilion with some grills. The path down to the boardwalk is winding and steep by walkable. Might be challenging for small kids, elderly, and people on bikes/skateboards. Once down to the boardwalk there are lots of birds to see on the loop. Swan nests, turtles, ducks, frogs, fish and golfers.
