Visiting Proud Lake Recreation Area has been on my bucket list for quite some time now. With over 3,000 acres, including the scenic Huron River, this recreation area provides activities for all outdoor adventurers.
Last year I participated in the Dragons in the Woods 5K trail race at Burchfield Park. The race was cut unexpectedly short by a miscalculation of the course. By over a mile.
Typically I wouldn’t return to a race that is missing that much mileage, especially in a 5K. But because Dragons in the Woods is hosted on one of the trail systems I’m frequently running, I decided to sign up again this year. I’m really glad I did.
The Penosha Trail offers a 5 mile loop through pretty forest and fields. Well maintained, but not without its share of hidden rocks and roots. This is one trail worth running.
Looking for good mileage and hilly terrain? Look no further! The Potawatomi Trail in Pinckney Recreational Area offers plenty of both. Run through marshes, wetlands, and young forests on an adventure through this scenic area.
Take a run through Yankee Springs Recreational Area at Trivium Racing’s Winter Trail Fest. Enjoy snow and ice covered trails, pretty scenery and great swag at this fun winter event.
