What a pleasant surprise of a park, very nice. There is a covered cookout area with six benches, a charcoal grill, a clearing area for picnics and some restrooms (although these appear temporarily closed). The most pleasant part of the park is an extensive set of trails back in the forest, including a small pond with seating. The pond had turtles, frogs and was a good spot to look for birds. The trail system included several style trails, including bike path quality, mowed paths and rough walking paths. Overall this is a great park, which we plan to return to sometime soon.

Nice scenic walking trails through meadows and woods. Light traffic on the trails.

A very relaxing place to walk. Not very many uneven trails to hike but if youre looking for an easy stroll it is the place to go.

Beautiful walk, I appreciate the conservation efforts at this park

Nice playground. My kids liked the seesaw. The walking paths are clear and wide.

Crowded and not enough masks being worn so we left...liked it before, nice ponds

Great park for a nice walk in the woods away from city traffic!

Winter Fest 2019 at Bear Creek Park. This was a fantastic event with snow games, penguin bowling, snow ball fights, and archery! They had free skating for all and even free rental skates in all sizes. Pizza and sandwiches along with unlimited hot chocolate. The park workers I spoke with were so helpful and informative. We will definitely be there again next year!!

Beautiful park with nice trails. Trails are pea gravel, but there are a few grass trails that are a little more rustic. There are a few docks along the trails with seating to take a break. Nice to get lost in nature once in a while!

Familys favorite nature park so far. Its quiet and very pretty.

This is a beautiful Park in the country! Nice trails and plenty of shade!

Winter carnival was fun! Had not been before. Sense of community was wonderful

Really nice little park. It was even beautiful in the winter. I’m thankful to have found a park that doesn’t charge to get in. $12 for a day visit at some of the nearby parks is ridiculous, just to go for a walk in the woods. ESP coming from Seattle where all city parks are free.

Great place to be isolated; hours of fresh air, rambling, running.

This is a beautiful park. Nice picnic area- pavilion looks brand new and playground, large grassy area by small parking lot. Best part was nature trails going through woods and fields. Also pond (map says skating pond). Close to cider mill.. I would love to come back and have my cider and donuts there.

Good fall colors

Very nice. Mostly quiet and peaceful. Currently undergoing habitat restoration, so Im sure it will be incredible in a few years. Lots of bugs, especially mosquitoes from all of the water. When theres heavy rains, the trails do get flooded in some spots.

Beautiful park. Wide trails! We visited for the Godison Good Tyme Day and I highly recommend it the next time they do one. My young one had an absolute blast!

My dog really like this park, and the pretty girls.

Great nature trail, clean and maintained park!

Nice, clean, quiet park!

Our favorite park! We love the wooded areas and meadows with the ponds. We see so many interesting wildlife there, especially birds. Very peaceful.

Peaceful place to go for a walk. Bugs are active sometimes, but that is expected.

Its was peaceful and well kept. Very enjoyable.

Well maintained trails and diverse terrain make for a great hike!

Really nice and clean, amazing to walk your dog

Very calm and relaxing nature park for a short walk. Excellent way to escape the rest of the city without travelling too far. Saw a verity of birds there as well.

I love the trails here. Its not that large of a park, but there is quite a bit of variety in the trails and it is always clean and well kept. Definitely a pleasant place to go walking or running.

Beautiful Park nicely maintained peaceful with good signage. Not too big not too small little bit of everything nice boardwalks friendly people. My horse likes it too

In winter they make arrangement for ice skating

Petoskey traditions start here.

Such a cute place for the kids to play and some nice trails too

Trails are fantastic Only thing I have to complain are the WCs

Nice trails and playground for children. Didnt see any bears though.

I absolutely love the walking paths. Great for kids and adults! The playground is also very nice, even though its small.

Favorite park. Beautiful land and trails. We always see interesting wild life here. Very peaceful.

Worst trail ever!

Nice playground for young to elementary kids and beautiful, easy walking trails in woods and fields

Great neighborhood wooded park. Well maintained trails. Very few people. Also a small playground at the entrance and restrooms.

Very nice park with lots of walking/bike trails. Natural pond near the middle with a creek runoff. Nice area.

I love going on walks and bike rides here and going on picnics very nice scenery, And my brother says its got lots of wasp.

Great place to go and get away from it all, including all the other over traveled nature parks. This place has it all, from its marshlands to its forest, all complemented by its mixed elevation. Great place to go and get lost(in a good way). This park has a awesome hiking trails with many different paths to choose from on the fly, without having to worry about getting lost. Although I was unable to see any of the wildlife at the time of my visit (which was early winter) it was obvious to see that during Spring/Summer months this place would be overflowing with a large variety of wildlife. One last thing for the familys looking for the pavilions, grills, volleyball courts, and so on. This is, as it states a Nature Park and not a park with all the amenities of say a Metropark. This place stays true to its name Nature park and should stay that way!! Enjoy.

Our favorite park. Definitely off the beaten path, but nice walking trails and not a lot of people.

Nice

Great local park with lots of well maintained trails to hike and a good play park for the kids.

If you want to make good memories then go here!

Great park with exceptional trails. Great for families and adventure seekers

A little gem of a park. Thankfully underutilized

Little soggy right now, but beautiful.

Very nice trail I love hills nature life

Great neighborhood park with wood chip trails, play structure, swings and porta john toilets. The township also has a couple concerts here in the summer.

Beautiful hidden gem with various types of terrains and paths to explore.

Kid playscape and nature trails. Has everything. Including a porta potty.
