Discover the best of the Huron River at Hudson Mills Metropark. This park features some of the most picturesque spots on the Huron and is popular with anglers, hikers and paddlers alike. Spend your day navigating the greens of our 18-hole, par-71 golf course or spin by to play two 24-hole disc golf courses. Hikers and bikers have access to well-maintained trails that connect to downtown Dexter and sports enthusiasts will find plenty of space to play ball. In winter, our cross-country ski trails provide great ways to stay fit.

Action Trackchair
The Action Trackchair is an electric, all-terrain wheelchair with rubber tracks designed to safely provide wheelchair users or those who would have a harder time walking on trails with a mobility device that can provide access across areas inaccessible with a conventional wheelchair such as sloped, sandy and rocky surfaces. The chair comes with arm and footrests and two joysticks, one for the chair user and a second for a companion. Fully charged, the chair can go for approximately 7 miles and has a digital battery life indicator.
The chair is seasonally available at three locations: Indian Springs Metropark (Spring), Kensington Metropark (Summer), Hudson Mills Metropark (Fall). It is available to rent for free, allowing visitors the ability to enjoy select nature trails. Please note, a companion or attendant is required as Metroparks staff will not be able to assist with transfers or operating the chair.
