This past September we took a day trip to check out Maybury State Park in Northville, MI. We picked this park based on it’s close proximity to our home. 

Maybury State Park is a busy day-use park, one of the few state parks serving the Detroit metro area. It’s great to find such a big park in the middle of the city. There are lots of trails here, and close to 1000 acres! Unfortunately when we visited, Michigan was experiencing an influx of mosquitos and it was a bad time to hike. Thankfully though, the mosquitos stuck to the woods so we still had some fun on the brand new playground.

The playground was a ton of fun and we had a hard time pulling Greyson J away from it!

There’s a neat addition here that you won’t find at other parks, a working farm. The farm was closed when we visited, but there are a lot of animals, petting zoo area and it looks like a fun place for kids. If you’re in the Detroit area, put this park on your list for a visit!
