Miller Creek Nature Reserve

As Miller Creek winds its way towards the Boardman River, it passes through the 66.5-acre Miller Creek Natural Area. Recreational opportunities at this park include hiking, nature watching, hunting (with prior Township approval), cross county skiing, and snowshoeing.

The hiking trails at the Miller Creek Natural area pass through a former Red Pine plantation, skirt the edges of open meadows, cross boardwalks though cedar swamps, and follow Miller Creek, a tributary of the Boardman River.  

The property is within the Stream, Environment, and Wetland category of the Township Comprehensive Plan. This land use category is intended to protect the natural resources of Garfield Township and the surrounding area, including Lake Michigan, by buffering streams and wetlands from stormwater runoff and encroachment by development.

The trail system is accessed via a small parking area behind the Office Depot on South Airport Road. Public restrooms are not available on site.
