Confirmed from Mill Race 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.
Peaceful park, with hiking trails and river walks, featuring ducks, a creek and a bridge.
What runners say about Mill Race Park
“Beautiful hiking trails along the Huron River.”
Beautiful park. Light mosquitoes depending on the day. There is a nice trail that takes you through the park. The creek water feels amazing
I walk my dog along the river and feel blessed to live next to such an amazing place.
Beautiful hiking trails along the Huron River. Not a very long hike but really beautiful. Good for taking your dog or kid because it isn't crazy long and at some points you can dip your feet in the water.
So much potential. It would be great to recreate the mill with a more complete history presented. Great river walk, it could be a challenge for those who are struggling with balance.
