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!

Trestle Park, 11101 Summit Ave NE, Rockford

This fieldstone culvert was built in 1885 to bolster a wooden trestle. The railroad is gone, the trestle is buried, and this park now connects to the White Pine Trail on which you can walk for miles. The culvert seems well maintained except for the local tagging (the 'no snow' photos are from March 29, 2021).  The view from the top. We visited the park twice in February. View from the road behind it (as close as we could get). Old railroad markers and white pines can be seen on the aptly named trail. You are walking on and/or viewing a piece of history each time you visit the park or walk the trail.   We are happy a part of this railroad history was preserved.

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...

Fisk Knob Park, 17533 Algoma Avenue, Cedar Springs

This is not a park to come to for a thorough hike but it is a park to visit if you want to stand on the highest elevation in Kent County. You can no longer drive up to the benchmark but it's a short walk up the hill. The road is being taken back by nature. There is a well-used shortcut right up the hill if you don't want to walk the road. Here is the benchmark. "$250 fine or imprisonment for disturbing this mark." You can see for miles. A nearby neighbor must have had trouble with park visitors over the years. There's a warning sign and an electrified fence around his property. Nothing is up here on the hill so don't plan on a bench or table if you're looking to take in a sunset or have a picnic. Nonetheless, it's a special spot and must offer spectacular fall color viewing.
