The Chippewa Nature Center is a wonderful resource for people in the area and a fun attraction for visiting nature lovers. The Center includes acres of natural land to explore on your own, but they also host events (check their website!) if that's more your style. If you live nearby, I highly recommend their programs and summer camps for children. Your kids will have a blast and learn a lot about the natural world and Chippewa culture. If you're planning a visit, check out Maple Syrup Day (usually in February or March), where you can help craft maple syrup and enjoy the fruits of your labor with a delicious pancake lunch!

Visitors are invited to leave the pathway and explore the uniquely-designed landscape, take a tour of the historic Pines Home, participate in one of many hands-on educational programs, and discover beautiful art and music in a relaxed setting. Dow Gardens is comprised of an Estate Garden, Exploration Garden, and Whiting Forest, which is home to the nation’s longest forest canopy walk.

This is a wonderful adventure particularly for young children. Gorgeous interactive water feature. Send rubber duckies down the river, climb giant rocks, swing, walk through the forest, or climb on the rope bridge in the tree tops. They also have nice seating for parents, coffee and pastries.

its a big field that is pretty much fenced off that you can walk your dog or play with other dogs. this is even a few trails that go back in the woods to kind of explore. they even have tags on different types of trees so you can learn what the different trees look like and learn to identify them .
