Indian Springs Metropark

Indian Springs Metropark is a nature reserve with lakes, wetlands, and forests that spans several thousand acres. The landscape is part of the Huron-Clinton park system and offers different natural habitats.

The park system was created to protect the headwaters of the Huron River and preserve the natural environment. This effort helped secure important wetlands and forest lands for future generations.

The visitor center offers educational programs where you can learn about local wildlife and their habitats. You get to understand why the river headwaters matter for the region.

Paved trails allow walking and biking throughout the year on the paths. In winter, marked routes are available for those who want to cross-country ski through the landscape.

An underground viewing room lets you watch aquatic animals in their natural state. This rare facility offers a fascinating look at underwater life that you won't find in other parks.
