About Willow Metropark:
Escape your routine and the doldrums of everyday life with a rejuvenating visit to Willow Metropark. Conveniently located off I-275, just south of I-94, your sanctuary is minutes away with 1,531 beautiful acres of mature woodlands, scenic 17-acre Washago Pond and the picturesque Huron River. Play a round of golf on an 18-hole golf course. Fish along the Huron River or at Washago Pond. Cross-country ski, ice fish, or sled in the winter. Other Metropark features include a 4.5-mile hike-bike trail, a 24-hole disc golf course, and a children’s play area. Just one visit will make Willow Metropark your all-season getaway.
About Big Bend:
Big Bend is another of the large picnic areas of Willow Metropark. With fantastic river access, you surely will find the perfect spot for that riverside picnic, to launch your kayak, or perhaps stumble upon a new secret fishing hole. The Iron Belle trail runs right along the river here offering amazing views of the Huron river. The area can be busy at times with soccer games, but they tend to be to the southern part of the picnic area away from the river. Other amenities include restrooms, picnic tables, shelters, and a playground
