Lower Huron Metropark

Lower Huron Metropark is a large public recreational park along the Huron River with mature forests, open meadows, and multiple trails through natural areas. The grounds offer camping spots, sports courts, and a long paved path for walking and biking.

The park was established as part of the Huron-Clinton Metroparks system to protect natural areas in the Detroit region and provide public recreation spaces. This approach helped preserve the river landscape and surrounding forests from development.

The Turtle Cove Family Aquatic Center serves as a popular gathering spot where visitors and locals enjoy water activities and swimming during the warm season.

Visitors can enter the grounds from East Huron River Drive, with parking available in several areas. Most paths are easy to walk, though some sections run through forest where the ground can be muddy when wet.

The Woods Creek Trail winds through dense forest and gives visitors chances to spot deer, birds, and other wildlife in their natural setting. The river comes into view from various points along the path, offering quiet moments away from roads.
