Geocache Description:


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 Elder Creek:

Elder Creek offers two very different picnic area settings.   The northern part is largely wide open and often used for soccer games.   The southern part of the picnic area is filled with mature woods and an ideal spot for a quiet family picnic or some relaxing time lying under the stately oaks.   Amenities include restrooms, picnic tables, grills, and playground equipment.
