Lovely place for a family hike. Paved trails, and dirt trails for the more adventurous. The river has some pretty decent rapids for the water adventurer. Native wildflowers throughout the woods and end of trails. Public bathrooms and picnic pavilions also available. Little bit of nature in the Middle of Petoskey. Highly recommended.

Incredible area of Petoskey. A lot of excellent improvements over the past few years. This valley has trails on both sides of the quickly flowing river and several bridges. Great for all seasons, including cross country skiing.
