Hager Park: Nature Trails, Playground Make for Perfect Outdoor Destination
Hager Park: 104 acres of fun includes an extensive network of nature trails for your hiking Grand Rapids checklist. Another interesting feature this park has is a grass map of the United States, just north of the main play structure. (Which, by the way, the main playground is awesome for all ages.)

Wittenbach Wege Center: Discover Pristine Trails, Farm Animals, and a Hidden Cabin
Trails are open dawn until dusk 365 days a year. Leashed dogs are welcomed. Horses are allowed on the Corncob Corner Trail. The Luminary Hike in December is a holiday highlight. My favorite part is the hike through the tall pines.

Roselle Park in Ada has a Nice Paved Path, River Views, and a Silo to Climb
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.

Cascade Peace Park: Hike Hilly, Wooded Trails & Find the Hidden Creek
The Cascade Peace Park is perfect for hiking. The trails go up and down through hardwood forests and are absolutely brilliant in the fall. If you are hiking Grand Rapids, this one has to be on your list. Jogging strollers would do okay here, but there are sandy parts. Please leash your dogs. Access off Bolt Dr and Grand River Dr.
