Located directly across the road is Bird Hills Nature Park. It doesn't look like anything from the house, but if you cross the road, you will be able to see a small entrance leading to trails through 164 acres of woods down to Huron River. As you follow the trail away from M-14 highway, you really won't realize that you are in the middle of town. Enjoy!
