Shiawassee County is home to seven parks, five of which are nestled along the banks of the Shiawassee River. More than 200 combined acres of mixed woodlands, lowlands, bluffs, and woodland prairie offer numerous opportunities for hiking, fishing, canoeing, and family gatherings in the warm months or cross-country skiing and sledding during the winter. Amidst the beauty of our parks find pavilions, picnic tables, grills, play equipment, horse shoe pits, sand volleyball courts, trails, and viewing decks.

Shiawassee County Parks provide citizens with accessible and convenient places to relax and recreate close to home. Although no formal programming exists, we invite individuals, families, scouts, schools, and churches to utilize our numerous pavilions with cooking facilities available for rent from Memorial weekend through Labor Day weekend and beyond as weather permits.

Please contact (989) 743-2222 to inquire about reserving a pavilion in the parks.
