Huron Parkway Nature Area

Huron Parkway Nature Area is a 19-acre undeveloped nature area located just east of Huron Parkway, south of Huron River Drive, and north of Washtenaw Ave.

Occasionally, visitors may encounter a city park with no trails– as is the case at Huron Parkway Nature Area. These natural areas represent a unique recreation and conservation feature of the city’s park system. In these spaces across the city, off-trail exploration is encouraged– a rare opportunity to meander through a wild space in an urban context.

The Huron Parkway Nature Area is home to several uncommon species, such as hazelnut, flowering dogwoods and chinkapin oaks. The spring/summer wildflowers include spring beauty, May apple, wild geranium, trillium, and Jack-in-the-pulpit.
