Beautiful lake with a 1.5-mile paved trail around it leading to other wooded trails. Includes several large docks good for fishing, a grassy beach with a large sandy area for kids, a splash park, a large playground, paddleboats, a volleyball court, a concession area, several picnic areas with grills and a pavillion.

We drove out from Dearborn to go snow tubing. Had a blast. The magic carpet took us up the hill so we didn't have to walk. Great hill for families with younger kids.

Hawk Island is a versatile, well-maintained park that caters to all seasons. Whether you’re cooling off on the splash pad, paddling around the lake, tubing into the evening, or enjoying a scenic bike ride along the river trails, there’s something for everyone. It’s family-friendly, pet-friendly (with some restrictions), and a valuable local hub of outdoor recreation. If you’re planning a visit, here are a few tips: 1.Grab an annual pass if you plan multiple visits across lakes, parks, and the zoo. 2.Reserve shelters early—they book up fast for summer parties. 3.For tubing, buy tickets ahead online, and dress warmly if you’re watching from below.

Went there at night for the tubing mountain. Great experience all around, parking was just $5. Family had a great time, will be back in the future. Not from the area but our 1 hour drive was not to bad.
