Description
Sure, it's not wilderness. But Hidden Lake Gardens has some nice hilly hiking in a part of Michigan where this is limited. The hiking is consistently up-and-down and is similar to the Waterloo-Pinckney trail to the north.

Animal life is typical of SE Michigan - deer, turkey, owls, etc. - and trail maintenance is superb.

This area is especially nice in winter. You can see tropical and desert environments in the conservatory.

No camping is available on-site, but Walter J. Hayes State Park is not far away.

Directions to Hike
The Gardens are on M-50 ten minutes west of Tecumseh. Drive time from Ann Arbor, Jackson or Toledo is less than an hour.

Contact Information
Contact Hidden Lake Gardens (run by Michigan State University).
