Nice green trail
Natural, wild and beautiful
Lovely trail loop that can be enjoyed all year long (although it gets really muddy after a hard rain). It feels like you're in the middle of nowhere, which is a nice treat. Hopefully it remains peaceful after the new development is complete.
Beautiful! And so close to downtown Ann Arbor. Paths are well maintained with the exception of some downed trees but not too hard to get over. My dog loved it. Park in the left back of the 243 church- google sent us to liberty rd and there’s no parking there.
Rustic trail available just west of Ann Arbor. Completing the loop around the lake takes approximately 1 hour. The trail includes multiple overlook points onto the lake as well as a pavilion area for picnics. Best entrance is on Wagner road where the parking lot is right near the trailhead.
Former logging plantation preserved with various unpaved trails, surrounded by lush vegetation in all sides.
Boardwalks lead through marshy areas that are a joyful spot for birders, while the majority of the forest thrives with an abundance of chipmunks and squirrels. Fields of goldenrod in the late summer and early fall are a particularly scenic view.
Placards throughout the trail network detail the history of the land, its use and the fascinating process of preserving its crucial ecosystems.
Trails can be icy in the winter and muddy at various times throughout the year; paths may also narrow with vegetation overgrowth or wet conditions.
Not recommended for wheelchairs or strollers that are not meant for offroad use; even then, trail width may be an issue in some areas. No railing on boardwalks over marshes.
Pet friendly, but not a place for the reactive or skittish animal due to the narrow trail. Please clean up after your pet (trash cans at trail heads) and keep them leashed.

Park at the trailhead off Wagner Road and walk into a lush and beautiful forest. There are plaques with historical and botanical information about how this place came to be. It's a peaceful place to walk. Third Sister Lake is a center piece teeming with water fowl. Wear sturdy shoes as the pathways can be a little uneven in places.
