Black Oak Heritage Park

Beautiful biking and hiking trails that aren't supposed to be there. Kind of gives it an illicit feel. 🤠
No playground or restrooms but there's a place to park and a beautiful little hidden beach.

It’s a beautiful and calm trail. It is well maintained and the bike trail looks awesome.

A great spot of wilderness. Great for birding, hiking/walking and short walks. Excellent biking trails. Following the trail to the riverfront will reveal a wonderful scenic view of the riverfront and the new and currently under construction Gordie Howe International Bridge.

Excellent area to get a escape from the city, lots of bike trails every where and great for walking dogs just make sure to have tick repellent during spring, summer and fall. Also be careful some bike riders are ignorant and ignore people on trails almost hit you well walking the trails watch your fur babies closely as they can unexpectedly get hit by bikers not watch what their doing.

Lovely spot for a walk in the woods. Some areas of the park have hundred plus year old Black Oaks. The main loop takes about an hour at a moderate pace. I've only been here in the winter and the trails are kept quite nice. Unpaved, no gravel, so could be muddy in the spring. If you have a bad sense of direction, don't wander off the path marked as trails. Very few people stumbling around, since most of those types go directly to Ojibway which is quite close.

Quiet place away from the Ojibway park crowds. Mix of prairie grass lands and new growth forest. Great bike trail on the south side of the park. Detroit river across on the north side of the park. Occasionally you'll see deer and snakes. Nice fenced in dog park at the entrance. Bridge construction and time of day might limit park access sometimes. Theres only 1 access point to the park now.

Can't say enough about how much I love this place to walk and run my dogs, hate the fact the city/port authority is cutting trees and blocking our path for them but a beautiful place to run..This place should be left alone, 18 km of trail and they want to take away 16km from us..so sad!!

Trails seem to be mainly used for mountain biking. I hiked it, and it is very easy to get lost as the trails criss cross all over the place and even cross the tracks. Make sure you know how you came in so you can retrace your steps to leave.

You can still see evidence of the old rail yard that used to be present here.

I saw that on the trail they had areas with tons of tiles, not sure why but it was still unique to see.
