Cedar Bend Nature Area is a 19 acre park on the steep bank of the Huron River where the waterway makes a sharp bend from north to south. Of the beautiful and diver​se natural areas that dot Ann Arbor's humming cityscape, none is quite so historically significant as Cedar Bend Nature Area as it is one of the oldest parks and designed by landscape architect O.C. Simonds.

Because of the steepness of the site, some trails in the park can be more challenging and should be approached with caution. The trails at Cedar Bend are unpaved, leading up (or down) the steep slope, and also travel a ridge of the slope.

Cedar Bend brings to life a forest of pre-settlement times. Tall oaks and hickories surround you. Flowering black cherries and dogwoods highlight spring; native wildflowers bloom spring through fall; and flocks of chickadees, nuthatches, and titmice enliven the quiet beauty of the winter woodland.
