Parker Mill County Park

Jump to: navigation, search

County park off Geddes Road east of Dixboro Road.

There's an old mill there, and Fleming Creek runs through it. A boardwalk trail takes you under the railroad tracks out to a view of the Huron River (and the odor, faint though distinct, of the sewage treatment plant).

A paved trail connects to Gallup Park and the Border to Border Trail.

A good place to view wildflowers. The park is in an alluvial floodplain, and it gets wet in the spring, but the boardwalk will keep your feet dry.
