Important: DO NOT JUST PUT THE TRAIL NAME IN YOUR GPS. YOU’LL END UP AT THE WRONG PLACE.

Let's hike this cool trail.

Very impt: Don't just input the trail name. You'll end up at the wrong place.

I start on Grand River because there is a porta potty at that address.

We'll go out and hike for an hour. I take 20 minute breaks and/or every time we get to the top of a steep hill. I call those "catch your breath" hikes

PLEASE BRING THIS TRAIL UP ON ALL TRAILS BEFORE YOU GET TO THE TRAILHEAD. Yes, I'm leading the hike, but something might come up, and you'll need to get back to the parking lot on your own.

ALSO, MOST TRAILHEADS HAVE CRAPPY SERVICE. If you wait till you arrive at the hike, you probably won't be able to access the trail.

We'll hike for an hour, figure out where we are, take a snack break, and hike back to the starting point.

We'll go about 5 miles at a 2.5 mph pace.

If you've never gone on a organized hike before, please give us a try. Hiking is for everyone. There are groups for everyone. You just need to find out where you fit in. Hike your own hike.

If you have questions, pls text me at 616 446 8102. I'll have a dark blue Honda. If you've never been to this location before, please give yourself a few extra minutes. If you're running late, pls text me. We can wait a few minutes.

By the way: I recommend hiking poles and water on every hike. Peace Park is VERY hilly, so poles are HIGHLY recommended.

Good place for a walk and talk in the woods. 52 weeks - rain or shine!
Natural trail surface with moderate difficulty. This is a popular dog walking park so bring Fido if you want. Terrain is 40% Hilly, 60% Moderate and 10% flat so you will have 110% terrain! Perimeter trail is .9 miles (about 20 min) with many internal trails to explore as well. Number of loops and pace depend on personal preference - no pressure! Provin is just west of Robinette's on 4 mile. Hiking poles not necessary but some find them helpful. We meet in the parking lot at noon. In winter months, trail can be icy. Good idea to have extra support such as poles and traction cleats (Yaktrax). DISCLAIMER: All hikers hike at their own risk.
