CHICKADEE TRAIL – 2 MILES
A 2 mile shaded trail of compact gravel, with several wooden boardwalks. This trail traverses dense forest, has short portions that are steep, and has tree roots that stick up in several places. This mostly-wooded “backwoods trail” offers opportunities to view deer, turkey, and woodland bird species. We’re adding new accessible picnic tables and grills to several picnic shelters throughout the park system. Work continues on installation of new concrete grill pads and securing picnic tables in arrangements that allow for unobstructed movement around them. Picnic shelter rental information will be updated on our website as changes are made.
Bass, bluegill, northern pike, black crappie and yellow perch are all here waiting for you. Parts of the Huron River, toward the north end of the park, also provide shady, secluded locations for casting your line. You may bring in your own firewood or purchase firewood from the Kensington Metropark Office during office hours. To help stop the spread of forest pests and diseases, we strongly encourage campers to purchase campfire wood at the park.

In an effort to help the locally owned business the biking community has set up an online fundraising campaign to help offset the cost of insurance claims. The League’s Bicycle Friendly America (BFA) program provides a roadmap, hands-on assistance and recognition for states, communities, universities and businesses. The BFA program is a tool for states, communities, business and universities to make bicycling a real transportation and recreation option for all people. Durability is another issue you might need to think about. As Kent bikes prioritize cost-effectiveness, they often use lower-end parts and accessories to keep the price down. These bikes are considered good entry-level bikes for beginners.
