hiking

does anyone have any ideas on any side trips from Dearborn that would offer the opportunity to hike and enjoy nature? something that a whole family could do?

thanks

How long are you willing to drive? There are many parks with trails within an hour of Dearborn but I need a limit of what you are willing to drive and I can help you better.

Hines Park Drive near Dearborn is an urban nature park road 20km long, stop and park to hike anywhere.

Maybury State Park (parking fee about $5) on 8 Mile Road just W of Northville has many miles of hiking trails and large wooded areas, also horseback riding. Take I-96 W until it turns into M-14(past I-275), exit N (right) onto Beck Road..go N on Beck 6km to 8 Mile Road, turn left and watch for the park on the left side of 8 Mile within 1 km.

You could wander around the henry ford estates. Theres nature and history.

Kensington Metro Park is also not too far west from there if you can drive to it OK. Look it up. Nice trails, around a lake. You can reach it just off I-96. Enjoy.
