lower huron metropark

Lower Huron Metropolitan Park is a drive thru style park located just East of Belleville and West of Romulus Michigan. There are threre entrances. The North entrance is just South of I-94 and Haggerty road in Belleville. The South entrance is at Waltz road just West of New Boston. The West entrance is at the intersection of Haggerty, Savage and Bemis roads at the corner of Van Buren Township and Sumpter Township. Lower Huron Metro Park has linked bike/walking paths to Willow Metro Park and Oakwood Metro Park to the South in Huron Township. All three parks are bordered by the Huron River. Lower Huron Metro Park is home to Turttle Cove, a water park with water slides, fountains and a lazy river. During the summer months the weekends are always busy with a lot of activity. Weekdays are Quiet & Peaceful.

Great park, very good water slide and plenty of picnic areas. we grilled, had some family events, walked the trails, visit some the scenic park sites.

Visited Lower Huron Metropark with the intent to play the par-3 course. The park has beautiful trails for biking, walking or jogging. The par-3 course is nice and great for working on your short game. The staff at the park were both friendly and helpful.

This is a nice, clean park. I love their bike trail. It connects to the other nearby parks so you can ride for, I believe, 40 miles. They also have nice walking/ hiking trails. The river runs thru the park and the bike trail runs alongside it. It's quite peaceful and pretty. They also have an aquatic center, fishing and camping. I have enjoyed all of my visits there.

The park was very clean and the young adults working at the gate were knowlegable and friendly. I will come back again and again.

It was convenient and all was covered. Our family had a good time there. The bathroom was not the best.

I have read that this course is in danger of being shut down, and I sure hope it isn't. This is the best place on the planet to introduce children to "real" golf, and it's a heck of a lot of fun for grownups to play, too. Leave your woods in the car. All you'll need is a 9-iron, a pitching wedge and a putter (well, okay, a sand wedge if you must). And a few balls, in case you put one in the Huron River, which runs alongside six of the 18 holes. The distances of the holes are 52 to 110 yards. The course is very scenic and for the most part in good shape. And the best part is the price -- $6 weekdays, $7 weekends, with an extra buck for a pull cart. They'll even rent you a 9-iron and a putter for $1.50. The reason it's good for kids -- the local course rule is that if you aren't on the green in six strokes, put it on the green. Kids as young as 5 can get a taste of what real golf is like, and the grownups get to work on their short game. It's just a blast, and two hours very well spent.

I went once or twice for a picnic, but never went back again even though I live fairly close to it....

This park runs several miles along the Huron River. Several picnic areas, a water park, golf course, bike trails, nature hikes. Admission to the park by paying a daily or annual pass fee. Check the park website for special events like fireworks: www.metroparks.com

Lower Huron Metro Park is connected to Willow Metro Park so you can jog, bike or walk for a long ways. I bicycled for 16 miles on the nice paved pathway with beautiful scenery. The Huron Eiver runs along much of the route.

I remember coming here as a kid with my mom and dad and my grandmother and grandfather. The park has always been nice. They have fireworks on the 4th of July. There are tails where you can walk or even ride bikes! There are many different wild animals and plant life that you'll find through out the park. There is a water park (which you have to pay for) and many different play areas for children! I recommend anyone to come here if visiting or even live near by for a chance to be around some nature. The park holds many different activities all year round!

Kids love camping and waterparks so when they are a bikeride away from each other, it is golden to kids. Walnut Grove Campgrounds at Lower Huron Metropark (In Belleville, NOT Bellvue) are spic and span. It is a 30 minute walk, 15 minute bike ride or 5 minute car ride from Turtle Cove Waterpark within the park. The bike ride between the camp and waterpark is lovely - over a bridge, up one hill that is walkable on the way up and a woo hoo! on the way down. It is nicely paved. We heard owls, woodpeckers and bullfrogs. There was a cute playground and a clean drinking fountain near our site.The bathrooms are the cleanest public restrooms I have ever seen. Each site has a well taken care of fire pit. It is not crowded.Turtle Cove is a sweet smaller waterpark with 2 water slides, a zero depth pool with toys attached to the pool, a lap pool, a lazy river, a splash pad with a giant wonderful bucket that dumps down every few minutes. (The kids said it is not as big as Kalahari but they still loved it for 2 days). The food at the waterpark is very expensive and unhealthy, so plan to pack a cooler full of food and eat it just outside the park at the picnic tables. Everyone we met that worked at Lower Huron Metropark was friendly and helpful and the people who use the park are a nice group. I recommend this park as a perfect get-away with children. It is inexpensive ($20/night for the campground, $8/adult for the waterpark, $5 admission to the Metropark or a pass), close to metro Detroit, super fun especially from a child's perspective, peaceful, and easy. It is also connected to two other Metroparks where there is a pool and some boat rentals and miles and miles of bike trails. Pack a tent, a cooler, and some bikes to spend some quality time with kids without any hassle.

This park is in Belleville, MI. 100 miles east of Bellevue.....

One of the greatest all time golf deals, golf a beautiful little 18 hole par 3 course in a park setting right next to the river, for only 5 bucks!!!! The holes range from 50 to 110 yards and guess what if you are a senior or under 17 its only $4. This is a perfect place to work on your short game or to bring a novice golfer because hardly anyone knows about this place and there is no pressure to golf fast and it is a judgment free golfing zone. Teach your kid to golf or come here on a weekday afternoon and be one of only 2 or 3 people on the course. This place is a find.!!!

Starting at the entrance off Haggerty Rd. one can bike along huron river for @ 8 miles ending at a small nature sanctuary. The trail goes over bridges and past an old cemetery with headstones dating back to the 1800s. It winds thru 3 different parks with a spur running off to the city of New Boston where you may stop for a beer and burger or an ice cream, the scenery is very beautiful and there is fishing and canoeing. Good place for small mouth bass.
