Northwest Detroit’s hidden gem holds 250 acres of preserved land in the floodplain of the Rouge River and is the fourth-largest park in the city. Detroiters can explore Eliza Howell Park with over 2 miles of hiking trails. The park invites the discovery of a rich ecosystem of plants and animals from the vernal ponds to the wildflower prairie, to the hardwood forest canopy. It is a place for visitors to enjoy the serenity of nature in the midst of the surrounding urban environment.
