Guidelines
Stay on marked trails—watch for exposed tree roots
No bicycles or personal golf carts on the trails
Be aware of golfing near the pathway – stray golf balls may fall within the Art Park
Dogs are allowed in the Art Park. Owners must keep them leashed at all times and pick up after them.
The trails are dirt and may have occasional rocks and roots in the path. Closed-toe, athletic or hiking shoes are recommended. Wear comfortable clothes appropriate for the season.
Please leave no trace—put trash in receptacles located near the picnic tables and the amphitheater.
Smoking is prohibited in the Art Park.
Climbing on the sculptures is prohibited for your safety and to preserve the integrity of the art.
In the winter months, hikers are encouraged to wear snowshoes as boots damage the groomed ski trails. If there is not a significant snowfall, boots are permitted on marked trails. Skiers move fast on the trails, they always have the right-of-way.
Accessibility
A barrier-free arrival area and ¼-mile trail welcomes guests of most abilities. This new trail, funded in part by a grant from Rotary Charities, was built according to ADA standards for recreation trails and never rises above a 10% grade. It meanders through the woods from the trailhead to the amphitheater.
Cart Rides
Please Note: Golf Cart Tours will resume in 2022. Guests who are unable to hike the rest of the trails, may request a tour on a golf cart, May – September. Contact us to make your reservation at [email protected] or call 231-378-4963.
Concert Accessibility
All concerts and special events are accessible. Rides from the parking lot to the amphitheater are always available beginning at 6:15 pm on concert nights.
