The Silver Lake Sand Dunes is the perfect experience for beach lovers who want more. You can build a sandcastle, swim in the water, bodysurf, and even catch some fantastic lake trout. There’s much more to do as well.
First Fridays Ypsilanti is a long-held tradition that welcomes the community out to listen to music, check out local artwork, and take in the beautiful city. It is a monthly arts and cultural walk located near the Huron River.
You can rent a boat to take out onto the water, and do some fishing or bring along a bike and take it to the 10.5-mile TART Trail that runs next to the park. It’s a beautiful trip that’s worth a visit most times of the year.
Belle Isle Park is just a few miles from the downtown Detroit area, but it has much to do for the whole family. Plan a trip to the Belle Isle Aquarium (consider getting tickets in advance) for an impressive, educational space. You can even book a private tour.
Quite the fascinating experience, Nelis’ Dutch Village is the perfect place to explore Dutch culture. You can become a Dutch dancer by learning how to Klompen dance or exploring the nearby tulip farm.
