Dynamite Park is a large park that is directly next to the Wayne County River Rouge park.
Dynamite Park is a rustic area. There are just a couple of picnic tables and no lavatories. Nevertheless it is a nice location for a picnic. The park has several areas set aside as wildlife areas. A visit here can give anyone an overview of the present state of natural recovery in most places in Michigan.
Deer, coyote, raccoon, opossum, hawks, fish and the occasional eagle frequent the place. Look for tracks wherever you can. During Spring and Autumn you may well cross paths with one or more of the wild residents. This is an excellent place for birdwatching. The birds that appear here range from waterfowl, to forest birds and meadow / open space birds.
On the edge of the park is a trail leading to 'The Cliffs of the Rouge' which is a natural wonder featuring a set of cliffs towering over the River Rouge. A visit in any season will provide a unique natural viewpoint to be enjoyed by nature lovers and appreciated by students of nature.
Walking, hiking, snowshoeing and limited biking are all natural opportunities here. There is plenty of open space for frisbee, baseball, football or soccer on the green fields near the water station. The fields are not marked - these would all be impromptu games played with changing boundaries. Have fun! read more
