With warmer weather finally here, it’s the perfect time to get outside and explore all that Whitmore Lake has to offer! Here are my top recommendations for making the most of spring in 2024:
Take in the scenic views while hiking the trails at Kensington Metropark. The park has over 6 miles of hiking trails for all skill levels. The peaceful Wilderness Trail loop is ideal for an easy hike, while the Mountain Bike Trail challenges experienced hikers with 13 miles of rugged terrain.
Stroll through downtown Whitmore Lake and visit the local shops and restaurants. Grab an iced coffee, do some shopping, and enjoy the sunshine.
Rent a kayak or canoe and spend a day paddling on the Huron River. There’s no better way to experience the natural beauty of springtime than from the river.
Check out the Spring Festival in May and the Summer Solstice Festival in June. These community festivals feature live music, crafts, food, and family-friendly activities.
