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.

This park is really one giant trial system. Follow the paved trail to the river (you’ll catch glimpses of the Grand River) or take trails through wetlands, prairies, and forests. This park also has a fun playground and welcome center. It’s pretty flat. The area is prone to flooding in the spring. Leashed dogs welcome.
