Absolutely Beautiful Park. We found the perfect spot with 10 tables under shade. They have grills to Bar B Q..a bathroom was walking distance..they have garbage cans all around to keep it clean..trees and a river below a hill on the other side of us. The parking lot is close by so we could keep an eye on our truck. There was no one around us where we were at. We put a blanket on the grass and relaxed. Only problem was we forgot bug spray. A lot of little spiders in the grass. There was also a small swing set for my kids to swing on close enough for me to see them. Great park. We will definitely be going back.
Wow this place is huge. It’s a lot of fun for kids, they have one of the best playgrounds I’ve ever seen. And it’s big enough to allow tons of kids to play at once. There’s a huge tower/slide for the kids to climb, it’s really amazing. Will be back for sure.
I like very much. This park is clean, safe, and beautiful nature. It is a fun place for children, and there is a special place for the camp. It is very safe. I love this place.. I tell the workers this place you are amazing people 🥰
The trail rules are that you stay to the right except to pass. Im walking a dog. Dogs are trained to walk on your left. That means the people passing are on the dogs side. Im going to break the rule as to keep walkers and bikers on my side, NOT THE DOGS.
Of course I grew up around this area.. very nice park very large.. lots of nature trails.. kids play ground and swimming in the summer..pool.. easy access off the highway 94.. Haggerty Road exit
Beautiful and well groomed park. A lot of trails through the woods. The lower Huron River runs through it. Also miles of walking and biking paths. Many nature tails and plenty of play grounds for kids.
Great park, well maintained. Biking and hiking trails. Kayaking spots, campground, park equipment, pavilions with picnic tables for parties. Turtle cove is currently closed. We hiked the Woods Creek Rustic Trail. 2.8mile loop trail. Bring off lol lots of mosquitoes. The trail was moderately difficult because of the terrain and elevation spikes at times. But it was such a peaceful hike. $10 for a car day pass to get into the park.
Lower Huron Metro Park has lots of trails you can ride on the bike they also have camping clean bathrooms and well maintained by the police and DNR
This is the worst organized part I have ever been in they charge way way too much for theyre swimming in Turtle Cove Plus they now have changed Walnut Grove campgrounds and gave the campsites that were being used in the past to RVs and even though they had no RVs coming in this weekend they still chose not to rent out the spots instead only offering a couple of spots that were not secluded and were right next to other campers theres no help whatsoever they ruined the entire weekend for me and my family I dont suggest ever going to this park for anyting
I love these parks I lived in Belleville since 1999 fantastic place to take your kids have family barbecues especially to walk your dog
There is something for everyone there. We love the rustic hiking trails. Just bring some bug spray.
Great place to chill or walk..alot to see..alot of birds deer..wildlife everywhere
It was ah nice park. It seems family friendly. I didnt go to the water park.
Great walking/jogging/biking trails. Easy access kayak launch to the Huron River. Plenty of rest areas.
The park is nice and there are many things to do just visit the website is not crowded. There is no power or sewer system. The bathrooms are well maintained. Peacefull and quiet in relax atmosphere. Water park near by. For 25 a day is a good getaway from the city. Good alternative to camp Dearborn.
Annual pass is the way to go. We kayak Lower Huron, Willow and Oakwood all the time since they all connect near our home. Easy parking, easy launch if you have your own kayaks. Picnic areas galore. Bathrooms where you need them. Bike paths seemingly never end. Weve seen eagles on many trips, which is really cool.
Amazing park for kids of any age!
Lower Huron Metro Park is a big sprawling park with lots of biking and walking trails. In the spring the flowering trees are gorgeous. There is also a golf course and an aquatics center for the kids.
I enjoyed camping here however, the park feels like its at the end of a DTW runway. So if you are camping expect lots of fly overs. They slowed down at about midnight but they still kept me up lol night. Also the photo doesnt show how low these aircraft are. I swear I could see people waving in the windows of one of the flights
Pool and splash park were awesome for my teenage daughter and niece as well as my toddler son!
Very nice clean friendly place with friendly staff alittle over priced but over all was a fun day with the kids.
Nice trails along the river and without the big crowds found in more poular parks
Our visit was awesome. The park staff was great as always. Turtle Cove was a lot of fun. There was enough stuff for all ages to stay occupied for hours.
A nice atmosphere. We all enjoyed that picnic. ,☺️☺️😃😊
I always love this park. So many trees. Its very beautiful in the fall.
Great park. Many memories here as a kid camping. Just went for a walk today and it looked great in the snow.
Beautiful park. Tons of trails, play areas, tennis courts, water park, and space to play. Biking trails too.
Those pics are of the south fishing pier. The Red Buds are currently in bloom on the trees. It was tranquil with a beautiful scenery.
The Metroparks are a beautiful and important feature of Southeast Michigan. Lower Huron Metropark is a wonderful park, great place to bike ride, fish, and bring your kids.
The lazy river and cafes are still closed. But otherwise everything is fine. Warm water.
Great metropark song the Huron River. Connects to two other metropark locations. Several spots for launching and landing kayaks and canoes. Fishing spots, playgrounds, and hiking trails offer carried opportunities for recreation.
Went to the Waterpark and had a blast. Not bad prices
Nice play to visit. Biking Trails and kids play area are good. This place is a scenic beauty. Good to visit during summer time when the water park is open. Entry fee is$10 per car.
Plenty of parking and shade. Waterpark was great. There is a $10 parking charge
Great atmosphere for family and friends. I really enjoyed my Memorial Holiday BBQ with my loves ones.
Beautiful day out today, barely anyone at the park, so distancing wasnt an issue where we were.Nice and clean pavilion, good trails and lots of friendly insects trying to join the fun lol.Well worth the trip out.
Very nice Officers who are looking out for people in the parks. a beautiful day, thanks to you.Thank you metro Officers! 😘Thank you for Service and protecting The community.
I just love that this place is practically in my backyard. There is so much to do here. In the summer practically every gazebo is taken for a birthday or family reunion. But when I go I go on the many trails. They upkeep the place really well and Im here at least once a week in the summer. I highly recommend getting a year pass for this place. I believe its 35 for the year or 10 for a visit. Just get the year pass, you wont regret it.
A nice park to get out of the city and enjoy nature. Great hiking trails and the best bike path in the area connecting all the way down to Erie Metropark. Explore off the beaten path and you will be rewarded
Great park that is well maintained. My dog enjoys walking the paths regularly. Only complaint would be the people that dont pick up after their pets.
I love metro park. The prices keep raising every year. I hope it doesnt go any higher this next year. I enjoy to walk around the park and enjoy nature.
Clean park. Very nice to visit. Trails are well-kept. Went long boarding with my son. It was a blast. Very friendly visitora.
Went kayaking and we will kayak all the way down to Willow Metropark. Water was a little low but never had to get out and walk. Very nice.
Loving a GREAT park. Looking forward to returning for a outdoor picnic !
I love all the Metroparks, I make a point of going to everyone at least twice a year be it for a hike ice-skating or a round of golf bring my bicycle and take the the path. Swim Etc
Parents brought me here as a child. Beautiful then, even more beautiful now! Awesome!
Love the park 1st time there nice and clean have a great time
Very clean. Plenty of space. Rv waste dump.
I am from west Michigan and I am surprised such an awesome place like this exists. I think every county needs something like this. We went at 4pm knowing we wouldnt have much time and had to peel ourselves away. However I still felt as though we used the space to our advantage. This is an affordable mini water park... And its amazing. I wish I had one closer to our home.
Beautiful park. Great walking trails. And plenty of playground equipment.
Lots of nature walking trails. Enough space to not feel crowded. Tons of amenities, family friendly. One of the better metro parks
There is a new giant playscape here. Very popular. My grandkids love it. They will stay all day and its winter
Great place to hike, relax, let the kids run wild.
Love the space themed playground and all the trails to walk.
Great for hiking camping and fishing. Havent had a chance to kayak yet
Its a spacious area with lots to do between the play area for the kids and the wooded area for hikes its a wonderful place to spend the day
We always do our family pictures here! We also plan alot of boyscout hikes here
Clean and well kept. Grass was trimmed, trails were maintained.
Great place to go for a walk/run/bike ride or just to sit and relax
Has quite a large number on grill stations and lots of tree shades. The water park is awesome . Has kids play area too and nice maintained park.
A great metro park with paved walking/biking paths as well as many picnic areas and even a rustic campground.
This place you can literally do it outdoors all everything here!!! From jet skiing to picnics in the park, dog walking what ever. This place is very spacious! Like woe.there is mucho grande space available yo just let it roam an gave a blast. Plenty of time in the world if you got it, to get it popping on this wonderful park!!!
Good safe park for family I love walking trails
I had an amazing time at Turtle Cove and really enjoyed the lazy river.
If you dont have a state of Michigan pass, its $10 to enter. The river was nice but there was a discarded tire on the side that should be removed.
Went there for a fishing. Nice clean park
Lots of trails to walk and the nature is great for the family.
Great place to walk our dog away from cars and all that goes on in the sub. Reminds me of our backyard in Liberty township Ohio. Just love that country feeling.
Very nice park for biking, scenic walks, BBQing, camping, and the water park!
Always a good time here nice clean park lots of trails for biking/walking. campground is always a good time.
Just a few pics of one of my favorite riding destination
Love this placeAlways feels secluded and never too crowded
This is a beautiful park. It has spots to fish. Running and cycling paths are nice. The pavilions are taken care in excellent condition. The bathrooms are well maintained and clean. The playgrounds are really nice and well maintained.
Nice, except for the mosquitoes. The park has many picnic tables, including grills, and several pavilions also called shelters. Theres playground equipment, and fishing, and walking paths, and hiking trails. A nice park, but bring the DEET. Oh, and tennis courts, baseball diamond, was that a basketball court? Finally, the aquatic center. No, finally the campground. No, no, finally the kayak spots.
A lovely day void of any skanks and skanky single moms
Really nice walking path that’s paved and winds along the park main roadway.
Clean park, bathroom clean, Waterpark in.walking distance ,river for karacking, sailing, fishing... police were present crusing around through out the day...felt safe. Lots of families there celebrating..everyone stayed in their lanes. Only issue was they have no electrical plugs..dj had to send for a generator ..other than that I highly recommend this park if you are in Detroit
Love being with family its the most important thing to me 👪💖🙌
I like this part Ive been going there since I was a kid and Im in my 50s now The park has changed a whole lot I just wish they would keep the grass cut regularly in all areas and perhaps maybe have a walking trail that is not in combination with the bike trail, I enjoy going out there and taking my grandchildren and doing walking with them but we always have to move out of the way of the bicyclers which is okay just a thought I just think you would be really nice this is a great family place to visit with your family and friends. Could you some repairs on some of the bridges and maybe either add a couple of more sheds and picnic tables and maybe something that adults as well as children would find interesting but other than that I think its a wonderful place and would recommend it.
Best time spent out at a park in a long time. I c cant really do a full review because I have not been to this park since 2003 but it was a very peaceful and enjoyable evening there
Whats to say. Its a good place to visit. If you enjoy being outdoors. Listing to the sounds of nature. Seeing the beautiful sites of mother nature this is place to go. When I was there it was early Spring weather was cool, not a lot of people. I went looking for photography.
Great place for kids and adults... Amazing places to hike, or ride your bike. My son and I even camped there. The kids also like the pool
Ive loved this place since I was a little girl
One of my favorites metroparks, alway clean, nice trails, Turtle cove on summer is fun.
Lovely park, my family and I always enjoy it. My only complaint is that the bathrooms need to be cleaned more often. We were there for a long time and no one ever came to clean it and it showed.
Aloha. We enjoyed ourselves here.. Also the water park was a plus. They currently dont have the use of the showers for campers from 9-10:30am due to staff shortage. We made due tho. Mahalo
Rented a pavilion for a 20 person gathering. Everything went fine without a hitch. Bathrooms were clean and the pavilion was ready with all the tables.
It was our 30th class reunion we had a really nice time. Nice and clean, but they could have cut the grass lower in the E section going towards the bathrooms.
Beautiful park to visit around the year. Well kept bike trails and wooded hiking trails. Lots of picnic areas, play sets, basketball, tennis courts.This has been a blessing in covid-19 lockdowns.Always our favorite park to visit for me and my sister
Beautiful day in the park..
Great metropark with lot of activities to do. Enjoyed biking there with my family.
Beautiful trails by the river and throughout the park, all with little signs so you know where you are. Lots of little side trails to explore too
Great park. Clean, well maintenanced. Good carp fishing in the river using pack bait and a method feeder.
Was written a ticket and tried waving the officer down only for him to acknowledge me and drive off. i drove up to him AGAIN as he parked in another entrance and drove off for the second time. and i finally flagged him down the THIRD TIME. and as soon as i tried to ask him a question about my state pass he told me that it was invalid, trying to justify how he didn’t see me when i waved at him distinctively. not only was i the only person to get a ticket in the park. he told me he was ticketing everyone who didn’t have a pass, when multiple people i drove past did not have a pass, nor a single ticket. i will never be coming here again because of this experience. telling me that there are people at the entrances when there haven’t been all year. people drive through here CONSTANTLY without a pass. i cannot even find a way to pay my measly $10 ticket. waste of my taxpayer money. great work for a mall cop!
Very nice and Beautiful park
Awesome place to chill and get away from the city life. Stroll down the many trails and paths, or just sit back and watch the river flow. Great stress reliever and get away, in your own back yard. Bring a few hot dogs and hamburgers to picnic with one of the many grills and picnic tables available while watching the grandkids enjoy the outdoors and putting down their cell phones and video games.
It was really nice. My family and I had our reunion there. It was a little hard finding our spot but outside of that great experience.
Our favorite enjoy the outdoors spot! The scenery, wildlife, and patrons are all awesome. But we especially love all the employees. We highly recommend this park for all your outdoor activities.
Lifeguards measuring kids is subjective. Your kids may be disappointed trying to get on slides.TL;DRHeres the thing: slides. Both accessed by same stairs. Bottom of stairs, lifeguard that measures small kids. Too short, kid cant go up.If a kid gets measured below, why are you measuring them again at the top???My kid got on these slides for 2½hrs, measured at bottom every time, np. Lifeguards rotated their stations and the new guy up top told him he couldnt slide. I take him up myself. Guard at bottom measures him and again top guard says he cant go.He measures him again and hes barely 48. He hasnt shrank. Thing is its all subjective. The redundant measuring makes no sense.
Trails are groomed and safe, been hiking here for 30 years. 💙 Great spots for kayaking and enjoying local wildlife.
The BEST PARK EVER!!! I went camping for the first time in 20 years, their park is so accommodating, clean, serene and OMG the RESTROOMS are cleaned and stocked like clockwork!! Can you believe that??? They have a fabulous staff that is on duty at 7am sharp, those restrooms are cleaned and ready before most folks get up...The best camping experience I had!! Fishing was awesome too, did not catch anything, but it was FUN!!
I have been coming for walks at this beautiful place for a couple of years now. I purchase an annual pass. I was unexpectantly disappointed this evening. I was refused entry because my annual pass is in my wallet and not plastered to my windsheild. I was unaware of this policy. My pass from the prior year is still stuck on my windsheild as i was unable to get it off this time. I wanted to remove the old one b4 placing the new one. I am very disappointed that despite the fact that i have an annual pass, i was still refused entry. That was extremely disappointing. I think that I should find another park to support. I am so disappointed to have been refused entry for that reason. I wish that I knew who to report this to.
Loved being able to take my dog here to explore the many walking paths that are around.
Had an awesome time with my family but it would be nice if they had another adult slide its a nice place to go and enjoy yourself
A wonderful private park system!
Had a nice time with my family. The park was nice and clean. The water park was clean and had so much fun will be back soon
Nice place to enjoy the weekend
I get a yearly pass each year because I love this park so much! I love how the rangers are noticable throughout the park! I feel safe as sometimes I jog alone (during the day of course). I ride my bike without fear and feel comfortable.. GREAT JOB😃
Its a field, they have no amenities, the camping site is atrocious. No water, no electric, no swimming, no play area (old , worn down and shut down) looks like they invest nothing in the property, sadest excuse for a park in the state. Theres a muddy trail and a wood bridge...
We went here for the first time this weekend and loved it. Theres a huge bike path that travels through two other parks. We easily biked 20+ miles and will definitely be back. Lots to do with friends and family here. If you have the annual pass you can get in all the parks in the area.
I was pleasantly surprised by the Turtle Cove water park. It has been years since I was at Lower Huron. It was great to see the community enjoying the water. Plenty of lifeguard towers throughout the park with actual lifeguards on post. The slides and lazy rivers were fun and everything for the most part is child/toddler friendly. Concession stand had usual park fare: hot dogs, burgers, chicken strips and fries and the combos were reasonably priced. They also provide life vests for small children and personal floaters/ vests are discouraged. My only area for improvement is the ladies room/shower area. Needs more frequent attention and water to spray the floors down. Everyone is not super considerate of sharing these spaces. Bring shower shoes.
Beautiful park! Well kept I saw no trash anywhere but the trash cans. Bathrooms in Turtle Cove are clean and do not smell. And what fun Turtle Cove is! Lots of water going everywhere! The place scape had more places where water was spewing forth from, than I could be bothered to count! Lol. Two huge water slides were very popular! One you just sat in and slid down the other you sit on one of their big inner tube style floats. And if you want to kick back and float around they have the Lazy River. They dont allow outside food and drink, but the concession stand was not outlandishly expensive. For a pulled pork sandwich, coleslaw, fries, and a drink was $8.75. They also had lockers you can put the things you did not want by the pool in. For fifty cents it was absolutely worth it. There is the cost of getting in the park, $10 per car. And the additional cost for Turtle Cove, $12 per person on the weekend and $11 per person for the week day.
Please restock the bathrooms with toilet paper thank you
The campground was very clean, kept up, sprayed for bugs and everything. Very peaceful time just relaxing ☺️ definitely would love to go again this summer
Really nice small Park, access to the river and good biking trails. Descent campsites, no power but a dumpstation and water available.
Been going here for my family picnic for my whole life. I absolutely love it here and I’m amazing spots for camping, swimming and many more!
Loving the new paths they put in! It makes it feel more like one of the state parks where you can walk through the woods instead of staying on pavement the whole time. Looking forward to seeing what else they do and Ill definitely be utilizing the park more often now.
Great location for an outdoor family event. Rest stations were very clean and well supplied. Lots of free parking, also. Modest charge for one day park admission. Easily located near two major freeways.
Well kept park overall and Turtle Cove is a great Waterpark for the price. $20 for my son and I isnt too bad at all.
If you want to get away and see some nature this is your spot. Great trails. Flowing creaks. Almost no noise. Great fishing if you know the spots. Plenty of camping room. Facilities are for the most part clean. The water park is amazing. And for 35 a year you can go as much and as often as you like. And it includes all the metro parks! For real how can you go wrong.
Well maintained pretty and peaceful.
Nice park. Not to many fishing spots as my home Metropark. Camping area is wide and close to the river.
Its a clean park and a great place for family gatherings. Their restrooms are cleaner than what u would expect from a public park. There are different areas where u can engage in different activities and sports. I would definitely recommend it to family and friends
Great time to fish. Many good accesspoints along the park road.
Nice park. $10 admission into the park. $45 seasonal pass. Didnt go to the water park filled to capacity.
Its so Many twist and turns, as somewhat confusing lol. Over all was had an awesome time. The Restrooms were clean. The park were clean. My children had an awesome time at the water park which is $12. I do believe that, thats all day play.
Nice place to take the kids!
Really good place, had a blast
Very beautiful park! The areas were clean, staff was professional and the water park was so fun. I brought my youth group here and they enjoyed it! We will most definitely be coming back here! :)
Love hiking both on and both the paved paths.
Ive been going to this park for years is a very nice place to have a cookout with family and friends. You have to get there early if you are trying to get a nice spot for a group. The only downside is every year the price goes. It used to be $3 a couple years ago now its at 10
I like the off road trails along the river. Peaceful and nice view.
This metropark is well laid out with lots of attractions. I like the wild areas the best though they are cut through with lots of lawns that seem to never see use. The trails themselves are acceptable but they are not well maintained nor do they offer anything in the way of signage. I was there recently and along the walkway near the Huron River the brush and understory plants had been cleared just chopped away. It was very unattractive. They could use more shaded areas.During events any shaded area is quickly filled up leaving most of the children (for whom the events are held) and seniors out in the sun.There is a pool and pond attraction I have yet to visit. I am looking forward to checking that out.
Turtle cove water park is great for families with small children. There is a kids water side but also the pool is no deeper than 3ft. Along with the slides and lazy river. We have a 6,4, and 1 year old and we all had a blast
Its a beautiful Park. Play structures for kids, very good biking and hiking trail or walking trail, couple good nature trails and a campground plus you have turtle cove waterpark guess you would say. All in all is a very beautiful Park. Only bad thing is for some reason they are not cutting all the grass now. It looks unkeep. This is the worst Ive ever seen this park look, and Ive lived around here ever since 1959.
Weve camped here 4 or 5 times this summer and really enjoyed it.Pros:-actual bathroom with running water that is usually pretty clean and always has toilet paper-close to home but still has a lot of trails and hidden places to explore and things to doCons:- fire rings are low inside so it can be hard to feel heat of the fire unless you make a big one- fire wood sold on site is hit or miss, usually a miss. Wet and sometimes even moldy so its hard to light/burn
The only unfortunate element of our visit today was that we werent able to purchase our annual passes at either the gates or the office.If youre going out by the river, you may want bug spray to counter the gnats.
Had a awesome float I love hanging with my buddy!
Beautiful place to take your family and enjoy picnics and bike rides with your family and friends. Great place for family reunions.
Group camp was large, grassy with flush toilets nearby. $10 entry fee per car. Willow Run and DTW airports nearby so lots of planes directly overhead
Its a very quiet park for as big as it is nice place to just get away take the family and leave all your troubles behind
This review specifically pertains to the Walnut Grove campground within Lower Huron Metropark. My paddling partner and I spent our last evening on a 5-day canoe trip down the Huron River here. While the river/canoe access is okay, it was a bit of a hike to get to our tent site. While the park staff assured me over the phone that there were plenty of trees for a campimg hammock, it turns out this is not the case. Finally found a heavily-littered spot on the edge of a bluff that is covered in poison ivy. During our stay, we witnessed a domestic dispute between a couple and waited for local police to help with an abandoned dog (tied to that dispute) late at night. Tent sites are crammed together, and while Ive stayed at many rustic campgrounds, this one did not seem safe or private to me. On the plus side, the bathrooms were very clean, and the member of the park staff we met on site was very helpful!
I have been using lower Huron park since 1952. It is a neat and clean park. The people that work there, and the ones that use it are very friendly.
Bike trails are awesome. If you get to know the park youll find some hidden scenary thats nice. Its well taken care of. Great place to spend the day with your family.
Excellent! The Bald Eagle greeting was especially nice
This seems like a great place to go camping. Ive yet to explore all the trails but it seems well kept. There was some confusion on my end though; in the part of Ohio where Im from, the Metroparks are a network of free parks with various free or donation-based events throughout the year, but in Michigan, they are more like state parks in that you pay a fee to get in.
Absolutely horrible. The wait time is horrible and the staff is worse, me and my family and friends went there to have a pool day but no we had to wait 2 hours just for them to tell us we can’t enter. Me and everyone who came with me are nether coming again.
Fourth of July 2021The crowd was Heavy at the park the pool was over crowded .And they stop selling tickets.And my whole thing was people had been there since 10 am in the pool by 4 they should change wristband and let everyone enjoy the pool a lot people pay their money not to just enjoy park but the pool as well!!..Very unprofessional staff.
Great place to spend time enjoying the park with friends and family. Turtle Cove swimming area is fun (costs more).Roads in the park need some repair.Lots of wildlife depending on when youre there.
I love the metro park system. $40 pass /year.. However, 62 or older! Only $29. Vs. $10/day. This one had very little shade. But the novice canoeing was quite humerous.
Great time with family.
Very nice metro park. Lots of great playgrounds for the kids. Great running and bike trails.Campground is very open and the camping space in general is very small.The waterpark in this park is not worth the money if you have smaller kids.
Lower Huron Park has great facilities including fishing sites, bike trails, a splash park and a swimming pool. I especially enjoy the park in the spring when the red bud are blooming, and in the fall when the leaves have changed. There are also camping facilities, ice skating on a pond in winter if it gets cold enough, and nature trails along the river. There is a charge to enter the park if you do not buy the yearly pass.
Our family enjoyed our time there. The last river was the best and relaxing!!
My family always Kayaks here. We love the river! Also park is kept up and great bike trails that connect thru 3 of the metro parks.Oakwoods, Willow and Lower Huron
I was here for our Annual MCO Childrens Picnic 2018 and great fun was had by all. Starting with your professional, smiling, accommodating faces at the entrance. 😍😂 Hopefully Ill see yall next year. 🌈 Keep up the good work. 👍👌👏
Nice large metropark. Weve been here many times. Police are patrolling grounds, staff is pleasant, waterpark is nice, disc golf course is large and challenging, metro pool is nice. Overall a nice place for family and friends to hang out.
Im in a wheelchair and I love going to the Metroparks. Everything for the most part of accessible and there is a lot of room to move around. The office staff and Park staff is very friendly and I will continue going back as often as possible. I hope this was helpful and feel free to ask any questions. Have a great weekend and stay cool
Clean, beautiful, easy to access, but in general, I hate the idea of paying much more because I’m out of county resident. I think they should extend it to “ out of state” so at least all Michigan residents enjoy such beautiful locations in
Unfortunately this park allows bikes on the walking path stating it’s a multiuse path. About one in every 10 bikes announces their arrival. I’ve nearly been hit multiple times. The park refuses to take the bikes off the path and put them on the road. Poorly managed.
Huge place!!! Plenty of grills and tables!!! Lots of shade! The play structure was great for the kids! $10 a day is a bit much, next time well just invest in the season pass.
The park was very peaceful. The bathroom was clean!!
Very fun, kids had a blast... Will go back EVERY YEAR
I wish there was metro parks yearly pass. Also, a request that Michigan would stop pushing those state park passes and you cant use them ANYWHERE in the Metro Detroit area.
Very nice place for 1 day or 1 night camping stay, has a tennis court, a basketball court. Washrooms available at various places. Beautiful jungle trails.
Very clean park! Restrooms were like new! Picnic tables are inviting to use. Nice job Parks and Rec!!
Always such a nice place to take a walk. Go in late April and they have a grove of pink/purple trees that are perfect for pictures.
I loved it, me and My family went there for a birthday party/picnic. Turtle cove is also a place to check out while youre there, its great for the family or just a fun time with friends.
My father pays taxes for this park.But, he still has to purchase a pass on top of that!Now, today - AGAIN - we were denied entrance to drive thru this park.How many people are getting in for free and yet, the ones who pay can NOT even drive thru it.THIS IS DISCRIMINATION!
This is my escape! Love to go running here getting lost in my thoughts. Peaceful, clean with lots of wildlife. I do however hate getting caught at the train crossing to the other side because you never know when its going to be there, but You cant really blame that on the park. Just be aware that it is a possibility if you find yourself short on time stick to the main side of the park!
My family and I recently visited art again this year and I really believe with all the money they charge to get in and for the water slide something should be done about the weeds and bugs even I have our shrubs in surroundings at our property sprayed for mosquitoes no one wants West Nile 🤔
Outstanding park. Beautiful and clean; great paved 5 mile trail that connects to Willow metropark. Summer water park, camping sites, wooded trail (no dogs on this part though ☹️), fishing access, kayak launch, ice skating rink, and tons of wildlife. I couldnt ask for a better park; Im more than happy to pay $35/year for my metropark pass!!! 🌱🌼🏕️
When I first got here I thought this was like a lot of other water parks/metro park where kids would have a little bit of fun and then get bored. But my family’s kids didn’t want to even come back haha. We enjoyed a good barbecue I even took a swim my self. The only bad thing is that a lot of people are judgy and always look at u with those eyes but other than that it was really cool and nice for families I have a family of 7 including my friend so this is a really good place for families that want to come and fun together note that this review was when I went before corona
This is a beautiful park! Its clean and well maintained. There is so much for families to do while enjoying nature.
I love this place because there are plenty of places to fish and or bbq.. People are cool there.. Family atmosphere.. Tons of giant and interesting fish to catch.
Very nice, well mannered and kept grounds at this particular Metro Park, awesome waterpark for the children as well as some adults if thats what you like, bike trails to explore the grounds too, really was a beautiful relaxing day😊
This is one of our favorite in Detroit Metro area. It is a huge park, a lot of activities, a lot of places for kids to play, water park in the summer, and it stays open late (until 10 pm). So many activities can be done from basketball to riding bicycle, to the water park activities. The only downside is the network service will be weak inside the park in some areas, and you always should be ready for mosquitoes which is normal in any park. Facilities are good and everywhere. A lot of shaded areas and picnic tables with large grills scattered all over the place.
The Shelter we rented was in an excellent location,the park and the bathrooms were very clean and well kept!
Beautiful park,lots of hiking trails,bike trails and plenty of area for dog walking and picnics...also Turtle Cove water park... unfortunately not open this yr. Hopefully next yr..
Fantastic place for a bike ride!! Love this Metro park 😎
Turtle cove is very fun but, too bad outside food/drinks are not allowed. Me and my family were planning a picnic but I guess to eat in the water park you have to buy the overpriced crappy food at turtle cove grille.
The grandkids love the play ground by the pool area, lots of space to run off extra energy and its fenced in easy to watch kids from picnic tables. My grandkids are 6, 3 yo
This park has great trails if youre into biking or going for walks in nature. Very family friendly.
One of a chain of public parks along the Huron and Clinton rivers, includes miles of paved paths, rustic trails, picnic shelters and fishing decks over the river.Turtle Cove Water Park is located in the center of the park, along with playgrounds, tennis, and basketball courts.A paved longitudinal path runs the length of the park and continues southeast about 25 miles through several other parks and continues to the mouth of the Detroit River at Lake Erie.Lower Huron Metro Park is open all year and is popular for running, bicycling, walking, and in-line skating. Theres a skating area in winter and occasional volunteer work days and educational programs with park staff.
Great park. Many paths with some 3 miles being off path dirt and hilly.
When hear about a week ago all in all it was a very nice part extremely clean the only issue is when we went to Turtle Cove the young ladies behind the counter act like they didnt want to service us I dont know if it was because of our skin color or they were having a bad day they were very rude and very nasty we paid our money to get into cuddle Cove and then was told that we couldnt get in the pool do to someone urinating in the pool but youre still taking money and its only an hour and 30 minutes left until you close why not just turn people away that was unfair to
This is a favorite place for biking. The bike path is one of the best in the Metro area. Weekends are busy, but the path is not crowded. Theres access for kayaking and the path connects to the other parks for lengthy ride.
Gorgeous place to hike and for photography.
Long stretch of trails. Not particularly picturesque but would get the job done if you just want to stretch/run or jog. Few Picnic spots and gazebos.

2022-04-06Clean, lots of space to explore in many different ways for all ages and abilities. We appreciate the rubber engineered flooring making falls less painful. Go early in the morning when its less crowded. Bathrooms are across a large parking lot, very clean. Plentiful parking.

2022-03-20Wow, such a great playground. So many things to do for kids of all ages. They have an area for smaller kids and one for brighter kids. They also have adaptive (handicap) swings! Basketball courts and tennis/pickle ball courts as well. Great paths and cement for roller blading, biking and walking. They have picnic tables and a few charcoal grills close to the park for family cookouts.

2021-12-13We came for the space playground and stayed 2 hours. It is huge and well done. A good part of the playground is wheelchair accessible including the merry go round. My kids age 4- 11 had different things to entertain them. The slide is huge and the bigger kids loved it.

2022-02-06Lower Huron is a great park for taking the family and pets. Lots of wide paved trails along the road and the river. There’s also a few trails that are more in the woods. But hiking the old group camp road is my personal favorite.

2022-05-11A very inviting and diverse park for activities. When the group camp ground was flooded last weekend the rangers quickly moved us to the a separate area of the family campgrounds.

2022-07-01The new playground is awesome! Its a bit pricey to get in the park considering the pool is always full to capacity. Which I have left twice to go to bigger park for that reason this year already. Its a good place to have family events though.
