Warren Woods State Park
Warren Woods State Park, Natural landmark and state park in Chikaming Township, Michigan, US.
The 311-acre preserve contains a virgin beech-maple forest with trees reaching heights of 125 feet and diameters exceeding 5 feet.
Edward Kirk Warren, inventor of the featherbone corset, acquired 150 acres of woods and 250 acres of dunes for preservation starting in 1879.
The University of Chicago operates a 42-acre ecological field station within the park, conducting research on various natural ecosystems.
Visitors can explore 3.5 miles of hiking trails connecting Warren Woods Road to Elm Valley Road, including a bridge over the Galien River.
The park protects Michigan's last climax beech-maple forest, where silver-grey bark trees display decades-old hand-carved markings.
