Confirmed from Wixom Habitat'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.
Boardwalk, trail and park with a natural habitat containing a lake, marsh and wetland.
What runners say about Wixom Habitat
“Beautiful calm view of a small and secluded lake surrounded by marsh and wetlands.”
“A quiet natural area with a well tended path for anyone who is out for a nice walk.”
It's a lovely area. I got a little lost getting there because I was using directions to the habitat and not the trailhead, so if you're coming here for a nice nature walk, go the trailhead instead. My first visit was during the winter, so there was very little wildlife.
Nice place to walk and hear birds and frogs in the summer. Unfortunately, it is not respected. Lots of graffiti. I saw a guy who should know better riding an ATV with his son on a dirt bike and a kid in his lap right on the boardwalk.
Nice and short walking trail. Trail is easy to walk and has wooden bridges to walk on along the way. Pretty scenery. Ends at a nice view overlooking the waters of the habitat.
Nice spot to take a break and chill. Couple of picnic tables to take a break at. Nice little walking path to a nice deck-like platform looking over the water.
