Confirmed from North Fishing Site'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.
Serene park with picnic tables and grills for public use, plus space to fish, kayak and canoe along the river.
What runners say about North Fishing Site
“Beautiful spot, our first time fishing here.”
“Clean and quiet metropark here in Michigan.”
I've been going to the park all my life. After being away for 23 years me and my wife took the dogs for a walk and decided to revisit the park . I was pleasantly surprised of the upgrades and the paths for walking and bicycling along the river. Seen beautiful wildlife and a Eagle. We will be back.
Early in the season still spring wasn't thinking beautiful place but I forgot my mosquito spray so I was moving pretty fast as I pass through this area not actually running but moving pretty fast don't forget your mosquito repellent
