Varieties of trails. Markers could be laid out someone better for the trail locations. I went there this fall November of 2020 and due to the storms this summer a lot of the floating decking was destroyed so you could not cross the marsh and Hike the trails throughout the woods. It made the area Limited to explore. Very Scenic, they do have a lookout Observatory deck, house blind... There is a small playground for children and there is restrooms. They were locked at the time I was there. Overall not too crowded have a nice scenery and not that far off the beaten path from Downtown Grand Haven

Love the long winding trails! But the bridge needs to be repaired ASAP!

Beautiful place with easy parking and bathroom access, the boardwalks are flooded but Im sure that will be repaired soon. The graffiti really breaks my heart on all of the beautiful beech trees..and trails...and boardwalk...and look out tower, and fallen logs.

Had my first date with my wife here, our first valentines day, and we got married here! Beautiful location. Shame about the bridge though

I love this place. bringing the family here for hulking adventures will never get old

Great place to hike through the woods and play Pokémon Go and Ingress.

Beautiful area to hike! Colors are beginning to change on the trees! Clean. Pet friendly. Little playground at one end. Also a sweet little restroom area and pavilion. Such a great area. Nicest residents also. They have a floating bridge you can walk on. Its even handicapped accessible! Which is rare to find for a hiking trail! Love it!

Nice trails, great place to bird watch. There is a short paved section but most of the trails are dirt so you will want a mountain bike if you are riding. Not too sandy.

The trails are layed out well and easy to follow. Rest rooms at both ends of the park. Picnic tables, play areas and dog friendly.

Well maintained trails with some pretty great views, especially crossing the wetlands. I hope to come back soon and do some more hiking!

Beautiful park with great walking trails. My favorite part of the park is the floating water bridge.

Hofma Preserve and the park offer plenty of natural beauty and amenities. Lots of trails for exploring year round! Be aware that parking in the winter season is rather limited at the south park entrance off Ferris (only a few spaces) so consider the north access off Sleeper St.

Beautiful at every time of year, but especially in the fall

Gorgeous and well manicured trails. I like to run sprint intervals here. The board walk is my favorite especially around fall time when the leaves begin to change colors. There are really no hills or slopes here. What a beautiful splendor. Watch for widow-makers!

The kids loved the trails and all the water and animals... found some cool finds as well

Beautiful area for a family walk. My kids loved the floating bridge.

This place is wonderful! Had previously heard about it and decided to come here today. Its a very nice preserve with nice trails and a ton of wildlife, or at least when I was there. Totally awesome!

This preserve looks beautiful, and Ill definitely be back. The reason for 4 stars is that the bridge connecting the trailhead to most of the park is under water right now, so youd have to go and park at Hofma Park instead to reach the majority of the trails.

What a great place!!! How did I not find it sooner?!? Great for birding and just being outdoors!

Real cool easy park to walk, run and bike. Although the bridge is out right now. I think I posted a picture of it on hear too.

Great place to nature watch and do some walking. First time there today, but Ill be back for sure.

Great place to bring your dog off leash

Great place to walk your dog!

My go-to park. With a recent addition of an old tree farm. You can spend a solid day walking and enjoying and simple stroll through woods of many different types. An awesome place to try and get lost. The floating bridge is one of a kind and is accessible year round. The new bike path is an awesome addition as well. Public restrooms, pavilion with picnic tables and grills, and playground are available free of charge. Not sure about reservation. But awesome trails.

Beautiful mixture of wetlands and woods!

This is a beatiful nature preserve. Itake for a grealt walk to meet some noce people and see excellent wildlife.

Nice easy walk,was relaxing.

Beautiful well maintained trails with a unique long boardwalk

This park is gorgeous, everyone there was so nice, and off-leash dog walking is acceptable! So fantastic!

Beautiful park! Great place to take a hike, play soccer or just let the kids play! Trails and park are well maintained. Beautiful water bridge that allows for great bird watching and connects the two entrances to the park. If you like to be outside and checking out nature then you should take a stroll through Hofma Preserve!

Hofma is a beautiful park with great easy trails.

Love this park and trails. It absolute heaven for my dog. Trails well mapped with trail number and maps at all intersection.

Great place for an afternoon family hike. Playgrounds at the trailheads on either side of the preserve. Floating bridge area gives you a chance to view nesting swans and many other species of birds. If youre a plant geek, try to identify as many plant species as you can. This place is a real gem in Grand Haven Township. The only bad thing is the vulgar profanity carved into and written on the observation tower back by the floating bridge.

Close to town yet great for a quiet walk in the woods.

This place is great for walking with a stroller! Beautiful marsh!

Tranquil paths

Amazing place to walk. Pet friendly. Gorgeous views.

Hofma preserve is smaller park on the outskirts of the city of Grand Haven and is abundant with wildlife and many trails to explore and venture apon. A lot of fun to just hike or even ride a bicycle down the hills. Recommend hiking with a friend because it can be easy to get lost!

The trails are great and lots of them to walk.

Beautiful park that offers hiking and biking trails, an abundance of nature and a floating bridge across the bayou that connects a larger park and tails.

The trails themselves were great. However, trying to find this place using GPS is impossible for people not from the area. Just a warning. The maps in the trails that are supposed to help you find your way are are bleached out by the sun so make sure you remember where you came from going in.

Great park. Trails are very well maintained. Saw a lot of different wildlife. Dog friendly park and ever dog I saw was friendly. I will be back.

Great walk through the woods & floating bridge.

Love walking my dog here!!!!

Quiet park with well maintained fields. Baseball, softball, soccer. Nice trails for walking and dog friendly!

Beautiful park. Lots to do from sport activities to taking a walk in the woods or bring your fishing pole.

Listen to the wind, through the trees. Beautiful glistening preserve.

Love this place, great park!

Well marked trails. Close to Grand Haven.

Great place for spending time outdoors. Beautiful, very well groomed trails, and clear maps. Dogs are not only welcome but encouraged.

Beautiful space to stroll. Simple flat pathes to ride or walk. Bring your camera!!

A great place to get away and take a hike.

Great place for a walk in the morning or evening. Off leash dog areas are great and wetlands are always alive with critters and activity

Beautiful place to take a walk with several trails

Woods is old and beautiful

Love it! Very well taken care of.

Real nice place for a hike or biking. The traiks are well marked and very peaceful.

If youre looking for a place to commune with nature take a quiet walk in the snow or in the springtime listen to the birds and see the budding of the trees this place is wonderful for just a little peace and quiet

Really nice play ground and a floating bridge to walk on to get to another place in the park.

Nice hard pack trails with extremely well marked trails!

Great place to go for a walk in the woods!

This jewel is great for walking trails. The boardwalk over the water was a pleasant surprise
