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.
