From Monroe and Lenawee Counties, it’s about an hour’s drive to Oakland County.  But it is worth it.  Glaciation patterns left hills and terrain.  And the fact that Oakland boasts a large and relatively affluent population means that there are lots of large, well-tended parks with hiking trails.  One of these is Indian Springs Metropark.  This Huron-Clinton Metropark boasts a nature center, wide and flat woodchipped trails and a very important marsh area.  Indian Springs also boasts direction connections to Oakland County’s paved network of multi-use trails.  And it is very close to one of my favorite area hikes at Highland State Recreation Area.
