Muddy but fun! My…read morekids love digging around and collecting rocks. I took them to fossil park and everyone had a great time. The park is easy to find. It has a nice pavilion for eating lunch and restrooms. There is a nice walking section around the park. The fossil area is easy to get to with many signs explaining what to look for. My kids were excited that they found fossils right away. Mostly shell looking fossils plus some pieces of coral. We each brought home a small bag of items to sort through. Since everything was money it was hard to rinse anything off there so we had to wait until we get home to see what we found. Lots of things that we still need to research. Highly recommend them adding a sluice style washing area like the gem mining setups you see at campgrounds. Plus a great playground.

The cabin was clean and functions well as a sleeping space but not really meant to cook in. This cabin does not come with a mini fridge as listed on the website, but does have an electric heater and small table in addition to a bunk bed and a full sized futon (bring your own bedding). There is also wall electricity. The site itself was plenty spacious and featured a permanent and very nice fire pit and cooking grill. This site was pretty close to the restrooms/showers, which were some of the most clean I've seen at a state park. The smaller lake is within walking distance and Wamplers was a short drive. The smaller lake has a fantastic fishing dock complete with pole holders and picnic tables. It also had plenty of fish! I'm told taking a boat on the lake would be a great experience for fishing. The campground itself was green with plenty of grassy areas and not dusty at all. They also have a camp host that serves complimentary coffee and hot chocolate on weekends, which was a very kind gesture. There is firewood for purchase at the entrance. All in all, would definitely come back. Not crowded, not loud and very clean!

Not a lot of benches and water source is very limited - so please be aware of that. There's alot of entrance points and the trail does go far; on the day i was exploring you had people more riding compared to walking. The trail was very clean which i loved of course - i would definitely suggest going hiking there. Happy hiking!!!

The Kiwanis Trail is an eight mile paved recreational trail for biking, jogging and walking built…read moreon an old railroad bed between the Michigan cities of Tecumseh and Adrian. The trail runs through beautifully secluded woodlands with plenty of welcomed shade on a hot summer day. As with most "Rails-to-Trails" in this part of the state, the trail runs over mostly flat terrain which my wife and I found perfect for cruising. I also noticed that several sections of the trail had been re-paved since the last time I rode this trail making for some very smooth riding. As the trail enters the college town of Adrian, the surroundings become more urban as the Kiwanis Trail becomes the Riverview Trail in the city proper. In this section, the trail runs through Trestle Park with its historic amphitheater - home of the Adrian City Band. Convenient parking can be found at both trailheads: Trestle Park in Adrian and the intersection of Ives and Green just south of Tecumseh. Today we thoroughly enjoyed riding the full 17 miles back and forth between Tecumseh to Adrian...a 5-star ride all the way.

Milan Nature Park is relatively small yet well-kept. The entrance is off Platt Road. There is a…read morebaseball diamond, a picnic shelter and a kiddie playground. What we really liked was the pair of waist-high metal funnels that allow you to play the telephone game. Each person stands at one and speaks into the bell. You are about 25' apart, but you can hear each other like you are whispering into each others' ears. Neat-o! Over by the lake, it's too mosquito-ey to linger for long. You are basically behind the back yards of several homes, so be considerate. We also walked out to the driveway. There seems to be a trail head across the street (the other side of Platt) but don't go over there. The poison ivy is in the lawn itself. It will require more mowing before it gets killed back enough. There is a large, open area at this park that would be perfect for radio controlled planes. Close to lots of other parks that ring the same lake. It's called Ford Lake, but don't confuse it with the Ford Lake near Belleville. The name comes from the fact that Henry Ford converted the old mill on this lake for auto production.

There is no parking lot, per se, but there is room to park about a half dozen cars. There will be mosquitoes as soon as you emerge from your car, so be prepared. Also bring your hat and sunscreen, if it's a hot and sunny day, because even though this place looks shady and dark from the road, most of it is open prairie. It's only about a quarter mile through the buggy part of the park. Stay on the trail to avoid the poison ivy, which is a native species, so no complaining--it's a food source for luna moth larvae--did you know that? If you keep heading due east, you will emerge into a very open and sunny part of the park. There are signs to identify some of the trees and flowers you will see there. Some of the signs identify non-native species. I wish they would distinguish. Just a little detail that we nature freaks would notice. There are mowed paths all over the open part of the park. Here and there, you will find plantings of native wildflowers. In the very center of the park, there is a pavilion, but no tables. I think the chimney provided as a home for chimney swifts is a neat idea. Where did they nest before there were chimneys? Hollow trees, I suppose.
