Provin Trails Park

It was kind of neat to hike. I went early in the morning on a weekend so it was pretty dead. The trails are pretty easy to find and navigate. Looks like people sometimes spend time out there to do cool stuff. I totally get it because it’s a quiet area. There’s not a whole lot going on or anything, but it’s a solid time kill outside.

A very nice walk, I took an outer an inner ring and came to 2,9 km or 1.8 miles. Pine trees and deciduous trees both are represented. There is a nice area where you can go down and have to climb a little over fallen trees. As that takes a bit of energy I found it nicer than a normal walk on even terrain. As roots and fallen branches hid below the snow you had to tread carefully. But what is life without risk.

Great hiking trails. I love that there are so many directions and hills to explore. The parking lot was full when we arrived and I was a little disappointed there were so many people but to my surprise, we only crossed paths with one other group. We had a great adventure and will return to explore more of these local trails. We even encountered a lovely turkey.

This place has it all and it’s right in the middle of Grand Rapids! Hike it, XC ski it, bring the dog along, go sledding down the giant sand dune!

It’s a beautiful place to visit and walk your dog. It’s very sandy throughout so just prepare. There are a ton of little paths that go everywhere that aren’t mapped, so next time I’ll probably just stick to the yellow trail on the edge and to help avoid poison ivy.
