Crockery Creek Natural Area is a 331 acre park in Ottawa County with over 2 miles of hiking trails. Mike and I walked here on a beautiful day May 1st. It was a cool 48 degrees with clouds and some sun.
It has been cool here in Michigan this May. Some flowers seem a bit slow because of the cold temperatures but other seem unaffected. I like the cooler temperatures, so I’m enjoying Spring.
Aman Park is in Ottawa County Michigan. Marie and I explored for 4 hours on Monday April 27 2026. It was a very pleasant walk.
The trillium and bluebells had just started to bloom. We saw many other plants and trees blooming too. Here is some of what we saw that day.
My sister, Marie kindly took me to Dowagiac Woods on Tuesday April 22, 2025. We saw wildflowers, thousands of wildflowers! In March of this year, Dowagiac Woods suffered a major wind event. Most trails have been made passable, which I’m sure was a lot of work. Luckily, we were able to wander for some 3 1/2 hours on a beautiful spring day around this nature sanctuary.
