Aman Park 2024: Epic Wildflower Views, Cool Stick Forts Make this Springtime Forest Hike a Delight

Aman Park is worth the stop, especially in spring for wildflowers. This Grand Rapids park is a popular spot in every season. A hit with hikers and dogs alike, you will love the little creek, bridges, and more. The trails are mostly sandy, well-maintained, and have a few decent hills throughout. The main loop is 1.5 miles. Located on Lake Michigan Dr- approximately 6 miles west of the City.
