Best places: Hiking areas in Michigan

👍👍 Beautiful overlook, fun guide on way up to overlook. Slight Incline path up to overlook, most people can do. Lots of trails to choose from off that path for various skill levels of hikers. We hiked to the lake and it was a very steep incline, big steps, and a pretty good workout coming back up a...

👍👍 Bond Falls is so worth the stop. Walking along side of all the cascades is something I do almost every year. Simply gorgeous. The parking lot near the base of the falls closes mid October, just as the outpost does. That lot is not plowed in the winter.

Educational facility at a nature preserve with exhibits on native animals & play areas for kids.

👍👍 An absolute incredible trail that is easy enough for everyone to enjoy. Maybe 1 1/2 miles total. Great for all the family.

👍👍 Such a beautiful place to spend an afternoon. Between the indoor areas with bird watching, kids room, and live reptiles to the beautiful trails that are very well maintained. The skydeck is absolutely amazing to walk across the review across the beautiful woods. FYI: turtles have butts too, referen...

👍👍 Always a place to catch your vibe and appreciate nature and great architecture! Had a chance to also kayak the area and it’s an even better view from the water!

Family- & dog-friendly park with a themed play area, picnicking, nature trails & spring wildflowers.

👍👍 What a beautiful lighthouse! This place is so peaceful to visit! The drive to get out here was stunning! We were camping not to far away and wanted to head out for the drive. This lighthouse was open for us to climb the stairs. There was no fee, or place to put a donation, but we climbed up to...
