Confirmed from Settlers 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.
Kid-friendly park featuring playgrounds, picnics and sandboxes plus paved and mountain bike trails.

Beautiful trails and great facilities. Great mountain biking trails and awesome playground and picnic areas. I love this hidden gem in Hartland!
Love this new little gem in Hartland, MI.! There’s a large picnic pavilion, play structure, modern bathrooms, a paved trail that links the park to Meijer and an amazing all-ages mountain bike trail system, including a small toddler friendly trail.
Walked there 3 times now, been on the main loop and off trail. Super nice, lots of mulberry trees and wide open spaces for hikers and bikers alike. Even have bike trails and a playground for kids!
This is a beautiful park with modern safe play area, excellent walking path with butterfly garden, bathrooms, covered pavilin area with picnic tables, lots a parking, and a veterans memorial.
