Peaceful immersion in nature
The trails are loops which makes it nice, you can pick a short walk or a longer excursion. It was beautiful, the sound of chipmunks sounding a warning because of the nearby peregrine falcon, a variety of birds and running water. I wanted a place to do a quick exploration of nature by myself and it was perfect. The building was closed when I got there so I can't comment on that, but the trails were fantastic.

The kids loved it!
My wife and I took two of our grand-children (aged 5 and 3) there on a Friday in July. Ok, so the weather was kind to us, which obviously helped, but the kids absolutely loved it! We took a picnic and ate it outside on the specially allocated tables and benches dotted around the "Boulders" and "Bear Caves", etc., - names conjured up in the minds of our littl'uns for the faux-rock structures strategically placed there to encourage the kids to use their imagination. The trails were great - well-kept, clearly marked and easy for even the smallest kiddies to walk around. No, despite our 'pretend 'precautionary caveats to the girls, of course we didn't see any "bears", but we did see lots of squirrels, birds, beetles, dragonflies, and chipmunks, as well as fish in the tributary of the Rouge river (made famous by Henry Ford's automotive plant) which meanders throughout the woods. Although (unlike others who'd been there the day before) we didn't spot any deer, the kiddies had great fun studying all the fungi and the multitude of "beasties" living in and around the hollow, fallen tree-trunks which litter the "forest" floor. After a wonderful walk around several of the trails, the younger one still had just about enough energy to enjoy looking at all the stuffed animals, birds, etc inside the Nature Center building itself, and even to join her big sister playing in and around the "dinosaur" skeleton placed there for exactly that purpose by the most friendly, helpful and charming volunteer staff of the Center, who are to be given every credit for their great, unselfish and caring work. We'll definitely be back for another "Bear Hunt" and, who knows, next time we might even see one! Or at least a deer, maybe.
