Gahagan Nature Preserve

Gahagan Nature Preserve is a beautiful and peaceful place, offering six hiking trails that vary in length between 1/4 and 3/4 miles, with one trail being ADA compliant. The trails are open year-round, and the preserve hosts various educational programs and activities throughout the year, such as a children's nature camp, storytime for pre-k ages, bird-banding demonstrations, an owl prowl, and tree I.D. hikes. The preserve features clean restrooms and offers a paved path as part of its trail system. It is a great place to learn about the natural world, and it is made possible thanks to a woman who donated the land and used the log cabin on the property for education after retiring from working in Detroit.
