Yates Park

Getting there at 1pm you can get in the store easily but as the day went it got busier with a line. The good thing the line moves quickly. There was a petting zoo, plus fudge shop, ponies and other items in the main area. The trails were easy to walk and even the trail next to Clinton River was not bad to travel and a little more peaceful than the main trail. A great afternoon we spent for a nice 3 hour getaway.

This is a pleasant, small park. There are several benches available for seating along the river. 1 downside is there is no playground for children. Ample parking spaces are provided, though it is not a large parking facility. Additionally, Yates Cider Mill is conveniently located directly across the street.

Great cider and molasses cookies! The trail was good just got a bit hot for a second and a snake jumped out. Overall great for some family fun!

Best donuts and cider in my opinion, but watch out for the bee's cause they will get you! My advice is to walk down the path or away from the Mill so you can eat in peace ☺️

Different kind of experience not very far from Detroit, just within an hours trek from the city. Though he place was less crowded when we went, Yates Park got crowded as the day went by. On a sunny but cold day, plenty of young families with kids and dogs came to enjoy apple cider, doughnuts and nature. We took a small trek in nature for about an hour. Highly recommend for folks in Detroit and and for those visiting the place.
