Ford lake park is a great place to spend the day, they have 3 boat launch pads and plenty of picnic areas. The park also has some tennis courts and a basketball court and playground. Go spend the day at ford lake park, its nice.

Went for a family walk on a Saturday morning and it was pretty nice and peaceful. It seems to be fairly well taken care of too.

Come here often with my family whenever Im in Michigan. Its great for riding a jet ski if you have one, minimal waves so you can go really fast. I think there is only one shelter but there are plenty of picnic benches. They also have tennis, basketball and volleyball courts

If you are in Ypsi and desire slipping away to someplace a bit more peaceful, this may be your spot. Fishing, hiking, biking, throw around, or just enjoy being outside in a nice setting.

The water is kinda stagnant... Its also heavily advised that you dont eat any fish you catch out of the lake. But sunrises and sunsets are gorgeous here. You also can see local high school and college rowing teams practice here, which is really cool.

One of my favorite places to go for walks because of the beautiful scenery. The views of the lake are beautiful and I also enjoy all the greenery and birds chirping. There are 3 areas with shelters with picnic tables and grills as well as grills and picnic tables scattered around the park. Making this a great place for picnics and/or grilling out. This park also has multiple places for fishing including the boat ramp.

This park could use a little more walker friendly paths along the lake, but other than that it was very clean and family friendly. Im not sure what the hours of the bathrooms are, but they were all locked when we were there around 7:30-8:00 p.m.

One of the nicest public boat launches in the area. Easy parking with boat trailers. Usually launch and boat during the week, never been there on weekends. Hardly any other boat traffic during the week. Never turned away because of no parking available. True, extra cost for being a non-resident of Washtenaw county, but definitely worth the cost ($20 for yearly non-resident boat launch permit). Always a very helpful park “ranger” on duty when Park is open....understand park closes at dusk, whatever time that is? Sundown? Never been harassed..... True, Ford Lake is not the cleanest water, but very nice scenery around the lake. What’s nice is it’s less than 10 minutes away!!!!

Looking forward to another season of getting out on the lake and exercise/relax. Makes for a good stretch to do that. Sunsets are really nice too.

Beautiful and quiet park that we often visit. Not the greatest for fishing spots. We have taken the boat out a couple of times without much luck here. We will continue trying different methods. Otherwise keep it clean!

Been going there my WHOLE life!! LOVE Ford lake!!! The water gets algea around August but thats ok. Take the boat out there all season long. They have really cleaned it up over the last few years... So glad I can take my children there and share with them what my parents shared with me!!! Love the island in middle of lake!!! Love to anchor the boat in the cove across from the beach and just chill for a few hours. Would DEFINITELY recommend this park to EVERYONE!!!! LOVE IT!!!!

Nice park with a pretty view of the lake. Lots of trees, picnic tables, grills, a few covered shelters, a couple small play areas with older equipment, ball field, walking trails, tennis. No swimming/wading, due to deep drop offs and unsafe bottom, but you can put your feet in.I was there with young kids and I thought theyd be bored but they loved playing by the water and rolling down the hills around the trails. (Watch out for goose droppings!)Would be a lovely place to sit by the water and relax on a nice day.$5/car entry fee/day.The kids said theyd even like to come back.
