Wege Foundation Natural Area, 11715 Vergennes Road, Lowell

Our first time walking here was last Thanksgiving and it is a great place to hike. Don't miss the "cabin in the woods" (it's nothing like the movie).
We appreciated the natural beauty of the place, especially pine tree alley.

By Christmas Day, there was some snow on the ground and we walked a few loops we didn't catch last time.
Our last find of the day was a perfect Christmas tree, unadorned and lovely.

With more snow on the ground we were unsure of walking other parks so returned here again. Some of the paths were snow packed & a little icy but it was doable.
On our last visit, we had spotted this red ribbon but only found out later it was part of a spot-the-ribbon-take-a-selfie park contest. We are too late to find all the others in various parks but did document this finding.
Someone had taken the time to build a snowman and I took another obligatory photo of pine tree alley.
The trails are fairly well indicated but a few more markers could be used at 'forks in the road.'  Here's an overview map along with a diagram of where we walked :-)
There are some mild elevations but nothing too serious. We hiked between 2 and 3 miles each time.  
If you're lucky enough to have friends nearby, you might even get a fire in their driveway to enjoy when you're finished in the woods. Cheers!

Saul Lake Bog Nature Preserve, 10471 6 Mile Rd NE, Rockford

  This is a hidden gem in West Michigan that we recently visited. The 123 acre site contains meandering trails that roam through prairie, woods, and bogs. It is unique and beautiful. A General Land Office Survey in 1800 showed this property to be oak-hickory forests with mixed conifer swamp. In the 1860s, John and Mikel Saul emigrated from Ireland and lived here. From then until the 1980s, all land that was not wetlands was cleared and farmed. But in the 1970s some interest rose in protecting the unique wetlands. In 1989 the Nature Area Conservancy of West Michigan bought 52 acres from Valerino & Maria Castro. And in 1991 the Land Conservancy acquired the remaining land. Current management is focused on protecting the bog, reforesting cleared areas, and establishing a tallgrass prairie. Here are the rest of the photos from our visit.  It's an easy hike and covers 1.8 miles. Visit soon and support the preservation efforts being made here. No trolls 😊 Unidentifiable piece o...

Clear Springs Nature Preserve, 3585 W. Fruitvale Road, Montague

Image
This gorgeous 100 or so acreage preserve has about 3 miles of trails and was one of the earliest trading posts in the area (1848, according to Montague Township).  In the 1950s, the property was owned by North Star Fish Hatchery, the Bob Wesley family, and remnants of that can still be seen. In the 1990s, the land was slated to become a 90-home development but Montague Township raised the money to purchase it instead and preserved this beautiful place. Walk the six different trails and find tree stands, turtles, and informative signs. A short distance on the Rim Trail will bring you to this impressive stand of trees. Elevation changes are minimal so the trails are not difficult. Enjoy this scenic and unique preserve!

Muskegon Lake Nature Preserve, 2529 Lake Avenue, North Muskegon ~ 2024

Image
We first visited this beautiful preserve in February of 2024. We returned in May. It's a great birding site and we loved watching the swans work on their nest. We visited again on the 4th of July and brought some friends. It's a peaceful oasis in an urban area and is a wonderful place to take in nature. We'll be back 💗 July 4, 2025: It was 82 degrees but a nice breeze made for a beautiful walk. Cheers to walking Michigan parks!
