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.

Wilson Park is near a big spillway/dam off Ford Lake. The old mill is now the public library,…read morepublic works, City of Milan offices & police station. There is an armed services memorial out by the sidewalk near the park entrance. This is a large, open park, with footbridges over the river in a couple of places. All the usual picnic shelters, grills, lots of shade under the trees, kiddie playground, baseball diamond, soccer field, etc. Right near downtown Milan, so you could get a take-out lunch and have a picnic at the park.

Clean, safe area. Quiet park with frequent police patrolling. They take pride in this city and the…read moreparks.

There is a single huge oak tree that might be nice for photography. The rest of the park area is heavily wooded, and has nature trails. It can be buggy in the woods if the summer is rainy, so be prepared with insect repellent.

Easy to find.

What a disappointment that this campground does not support the rights of the LGBTQ community!…read more Before camping there with my wife of 20 years and our 10 year old son, I thought I'd reach out to the Director to make sure it would be a safe community for us. I just spoke with the head Pastor, and my family is "welcomed to use the facilities," but they do not support my civil marriage rights. I wonder how he would explain that to our 10 year old child, and how such a stance would prevent him from accessing health care within our family? How upsetting! I encourage everyone camping there to use your privilege and please consider raising this issue. Very unfortunate!

Mary J. McCann Park is on the east side of Warner Road, south of Bemis and north of Willis. It's a…read morebit hidden by all the trees, but the entrance is well marked with a sign and a fence. 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.

First of all this place is right down the road from where I am staying. Nice open fields and a…read moredecent playground for the kids. I went when nobody else was there and I loved it.

It's privately rather than state owned, so you don't need most of the usual Michigan DNR ORV permits. There are still waivers and ID requirements. I'm a mellow rider on a little 250 dual sport, so I can't speak to the aggressive areas like Warn Valley and Devil's Tower, but the Welcome Trail and Border Trail are right around my level. I found the terrain better maintained and more varied than The Mounds, and haven't tried Holly Oaks yet. Good fun!
