Confirmed from Kenwood Heritage Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Lakefront park with a beach for swimming, BBQ/picnic areas, play equipment & a disc golf course.
What runners say about Kenwood Heritage Park
“Clean, scenic, not coded, enjoyable place to spend time with kids or get some cardio in and enjoy the views”
“Beautiful place to take a walk on some trails, we recently took a walk around 10 at night with the lanterns lighting the trail, what an amazing time.”
“Lots of areas to sit and eat shaded and non-shaded areas.”
It was a very nice, clean park. Good wooden playground. I could find 2 bathroom areas with drinking fountains. Its very close to the Mitchell lake in Cadillac. The water was a great temperature this past weekend and you could see the fish, pretty clearly. The seaweed was the only downfall I found. Lots of picnic areas.
The kids enjoyed their playground and they had this contraption that, in 10 years with kids and a bazillion playgrounds, I had never seen before. They used a crank to pull this little cart across the playground, it was fun! It's nearly directly on the beach, nice sandy beach with shallow waters.
It was pretty fun with the kids. Pretty nice beach and playground. Restrooms are right there by beach and playground so didn't have to walk far. Lots of areas to sit and eat shaded and non-shaded areas. Nice boat launch. And across the road a nice play area and Pavilion and disc golf course.
