Many of Michigan’s most delightful natural areas are household names throughout the state. From Sleeping Bear Dunes to Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, Michigan is home to plenty of gorgeous spots for outdoor exploration. But there’s one state park near Detroit that holds its own when it comes to recreation and scenery, despite the fact that it’s not well-known throughout Michigan.
Maybury State Park can be found at 20145 Beck Road in Northville Township.
While many Michiganders from outside the immediate area might not be familiar with Maybury State Park, don’t let that deter you from visiting — this is one natural wonderland that will completely awe you.
Its mature forest gives way to gorgeous hikes in all seasons, whether you’re admiring the sun as it streams through treetops or shuffling through crunchy fall leaves.
The park also houses a calm pond that’s surrounded by lush greenery and plenty of lookout points. You can even bring your fishing pole and throw in a few lines.
Maybury’s primary mission is to introduce people from metropolitan areas to the joys of natural exploration, even if they’ve never spent time in a state park before.
Whether you’re a lifelong nature lover or a first-time hiker, one thing is for certain: you’ll feel lucky to have discovered this beautiful gem in the Great Lakes State.
