What’s your favorite hiking spot at Maybury State Park? How about any of the surrounding state parks and rec areas? After polling the staff, most agree the hiking trail from the trailhead building to the pond is the most peaceful with a few votes coming in for the serenity of gas plant loop. Outside the park are two clear favorites, Penosha trail at Brighton Rec and the Hickory Ridge trail at Island Lake Rec Area. What say you?

What is your favorite local kayaking/canoeing location?

Below are some of Maybury staff’s favorite places to paddle.

Brighton Recreation Area – Brighton Recreation Area offers a variety of paddling opportunities with access to six lakes, plus a connection to Caroga Lake through Bishop Lake, giving visitors access to a total of seven lakes to paddle on. The recreation area features six boat launches and one designated kayak launch at Bishop Lake. Three lakes are no-wake, providing a quieter paddling experience, although Appleton Lake permits wakes from 7:30 p.m. to 11:00 a.m. Kayak, canoe, and stand-up paddleboard rentals are available at Bishop Lake.

Island Lake Recreation Area – Island Lake Recreation Area features four lakes and multiple Huron River access points for paddle sports, with Kent Lake, Trout Lake, and Spring Mill Pond designated as no‑wake areas. The park does not have a traditional ramp-style boat launch but does have an accessible kayak launch at Kent Lake and offers rentals including single kayaks, tandem kayaks, and stand‑up paddleboards there as well. The park has numerous river access points also that provide excellent opportunities for kayaking and canoeing.

Belleville Lake - Accessible through either Belleville East or West boating access site allows you a five mile long lake to explore.
