Explore the historical and natural surroundings hiking at Wolcott Mill Metropark. Three trails, totaling four miles, traverse through lush woodlands, open fields and the Clinton River.   Follow Millrace Trail along the old millrace on the site and gently-flowing waters. Mother Earth Trail uses an interpretive flyer to explain the use of the area by Native Americans. Hike along the top of a bluff on the settler’s trail for an interesting view of the north branch of the Clinton River. 

Take a trip down memory lane with a visit to the Historic Center at Wolcott Mill Metropark. From 1847 to 1967, the grist and feed mill operated and the barn served as stable, and later, a sales area. Today, the historic buildings and surrounding land offers you a rare glimpse of the past. Machinery in the mill is all original, left in place when it shut down in 1967. The equipment dates from all periods of operation, and many have been reconditioned to demonstrate the mill workings. The barn now acts as a museum featuring the history of American barns, an antique buggy, farming equipment and tools. A gazebo provides a focal point for events, or weddings, or a quiet place for conversation or photographs. Interpreters give tours by appointment, and conduct programs on most weekends throughout the year. For additional information, please call (586)-749-5997 or (800) 477-3175 .
