The Detroit metro area’s mimetroparks span 25,000 acres of trails, woods, and water across 13 parks. 🌊πŸ₯ΎπŸŒž The Metroparks system is one of Southeast Michigan’s most expansive natural resources, connecting multiple counties through a network of protected lands. It’s home to quiet wooded trails, marshland boardwalks, lake views, and beautiful beaches. All less than an hour from downtown, it’s a great way to enjoy the outdoors while visiting Detroit. 🌻 This summer, we teamed up with exploremichiganmore to showcase a few of the beautiful views you can catch while hiking, paddling, and exploring in three different counties at three different parks. πŸ“ΈπŸ˜ Check below for a list of things to do at each featured park and let us know in the comments which Metropark is your go-to. ⬇️ Lake St. Clair Metropark πŸ“ Macomb County 🌊 Swimming at the long sandy beach 🚀 Boating, canoeing, kayaking, and marina access β›³ Par-3 golf, foot golf, and mini golf 🏞️ Biking or paddling along the one-mile shoreline trail πŸͺΆ Birdwatching and nature center wetlands exhibits Stony Creek Metropark πŸ“ Oakland County 🚡 Mountain biking and hiking on color-coded singletrack and Shelden Trails 🚣 Boat, kayak, paddleboat rentals on the lake β›³ 18-hole golf and 26-hole disc golf courses ❄️ Winter sledding, snowboarding, skiing, and snowshoeing πŸ¦… Nature center programs, wildlife viewing, and guided hikes Lake Erie Metropark πŸ“ Wayne County 🚢 Walk or bike the 3-mile paved trail with waterfront views 🚣 Launch a canoe or kayak into Lake Erie or the Detroit River 🎣 Fishing from piers and canals 🏌️ 18-hole golf course and Marshlands Museum πŸŽ’ Hike the Cherry Island Trail boardwalk and marsh trails #VisitDetroit #MetroDetroit #HuronClintonMetroparks #Parks #Outdoors #Michigan #MichiganSummer #DetroitSummer #PureMichigan #Travel2025 ## Stats - **Views:** 0 - **Likes:** 606 - **Shares:** 0 - **Comments:** 6 ## Credits No public credits are recorded here.
