Lake Saint Clair Metropark

Nice park with walking trails, beach views, and many activities for every season.
Par 3 golf, mini golf, pool, splash park, beach, picnic areas, sledding hill, cross country ski route in the winter, natural ponds for ice skating, lots of good spots for fishing.
There is a nice playground, with sections for children of all ages and an exercise center just outside the fence.
Lots of space taken up with parking lots however, and it can get busy on the weekend - especially during summer.

On a weekday or during other seasons it can be quite empty, and It’s almost like having the park to yourself

Gorgeous park! Peaceful and not at all crowded this time of year. Perfect place for a leisurely stroll along the waterfront or a longer hike through the marsh. Fall foliage is fantastic!

A nice drive into park. Lots of trails and paths. Busy with many walkers in area. Nice beach access on the n.e. side. Scenic views. Lots of wetland area too enjoy. So many Waterville. We saw the lotus seed pods in various stages of seed development.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A sunlit haven for photographers and families alike!

I recently had the chance to visit Lake St. Clair Metro Park at sunrise, and the experience was nothing short of magical. The way the early morning light touches the serene waters, creating an ever-changing canvas of hues, made for some truly breathtaking photographs. If you're an enthusiast of capturing nature's beauty, especially the calm elegance of dawn, this park is a must-visit.

But Lake St. Clair Metro Park isn't just for those with a camera in hand. It's evident that the park has been designed with everyone in mind. Families will find it particularly appealing. The waterpark, which caught my eye, seems like the perfect escape for the young ones to cool down and have a blast on a hot summer day. It's spacious, well-maintained, and filled with features sure to elicit joyful shrieks and laughter.

And then there's the expansive beach! Stretching out invitingly, the sandy shores offer ample space for picnics, sandcastle building, or simply lounging and taking in the tranquil surroundings.

All in all, Lake St. Clair Metro Park serves as a delightful blend of recreational activities and natural splendor. Whether you're an early bird photographer or a family in search of a wholesome outing, this park will exceed your expectations. Highly recommended!

I decided to take my baby to the beach. He absolutely enjoyed it. As you can see he jumped in the water for a quick swim. The water was too cold for him..LOL The park is beautiful, we walked along the boardwalk. We stopped at the playground where the kids were playing. In the playground they had a house with free books for the kids. I thought that was really nice, "take a book, give a book''. We walked around a bit people watching. Families riding bikes just enjoying themselves young and old.
