Confirmed from Wetlands County 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.
Riverfront destination for picnicking and swimming, along with a pier and a beach.

A beautiful location along the Saint Clair River. Paved trail through restored natural areas. Fishing pier.
Such a nice place to walk with the family! Beautiful river and scenic wetlands, amazing artwork through the tunnel, small beach area and sitting area, Lots of benches and piers to walk out on... Able to bring the dog with us on a leash... So many pretty flowers and lots of wildlife.
This is such a beautiful place to walk along the St. Clair river. There are several spots where you can sit and enjoy the water, go fishing, or swimming. They also have a picnic area with a large gazebo that is perfect for a birthday party or any other kind of party.
This is my favorite place to walk my dog. Keep an eye out and you will see how beautiful our waterfront is.
