Willow Metropark/ Wayne County


It's amazing that Willow Metropark is in the same county as Detroit. Although nowadays there are a lot of rural looking areas in Detroit too.

I was going to walk in Lansing yesterday but didn't feel up to the drive so I hop, skip and jumped over to this pretty Huron-Clinton Metropark in New Boston. As you can see, part of the trail is along the Huron River, very pretty. My plan was to do a loop around the park (about 3 miles) then walk up the connector toward 275 and back to the car for a total of 6 miles.


Somewhere along the way I got lost and ended up walking at least 7 miles. I was huffing and puffing around the park, back and forth. I finally figured out where I went wrong and found the car. I mean, how serious could it be, right? But the good news was I got a 2.5 hour workout.


So probably tomorrow Wes and I will go up to Lansing and walk. I have Lapeer and Genesee County figured out. I realized that Monroe is an inconvenient county to be doing this from since most of the counties are far away. This summer Wes is going to take our boat up north and I'll be able to do some of the counties while staying on it.
