Miller-Smith Preserve

Mill Creek Park on the north side of Main Street (formerly Warrior Creek Park) is a 2.15-acre park located behind the fire station and next to the Mill Creek, which flows northeast into the Huron River.

The ¼ mile pedestrian path leads visitors across the Mill Creek and through wetland habitat before exiting into the Westridge of Dexter neighborhood.

A wooden stairway was added to provide access from the park up the steep hillside to connect to the Dexter District Library and the Farmers Market.

Mill Creek Park North

The Pat & Paul Cousins Memorial Trail (formerly the Mill Creek Trail) is located adjacent to the Mill Creek tributary of the Huron River. The Trail runs through Mill Creek Park North and South, and continues south, connecting to Baker Road near Creekside Intermediate School.

Some segments of the Trail serve as primary pieces of the Washtenaw County Border to Border Trail, while other segments serve as spurs or feeder segments to the B2B.

In total, the Trail is over one mile long. The segment of the Trail from Forest Lawn Cemetery south to Baker Road is approximately 8/10ths of one mile.

A large wetland complex ('Trinkle Marsh') is a premier spot for watching waterfowl. Every spring and fall, dozens of species of birds, including ducks, shorebirds, herons, cranes, and more, stop on their migration journey. Additionally, many other species use the preserve as their summer home for nesting and raising young birds. Two convenient boardwalks and overlooks take you to the water’s edge getting you close to wildlife.

Other features of the preserve include a scenic woodlot adjacent to the marsh. Another wetland complex is situated in the northern portion of the preserve. Portions of the property remain as active farmland, as it has been for well over 100 years.
