We're at Huff Park in Grand Rapids, Michigan! I've been near this park, but never explored it. The wetlands, boardwalks, brief forest, and open fields are STUNNING! Adding to this easy hike, we're DEER and DUCKS, very near to the trail and content to allow me to quietly stand and observe them. Amazing!
