Reviews of Bishop's Bog Preserve
"Amazing park....must come and see."
"Is a great walk especially since the walking deck was upgraded this summer. A little shade, and some beautiful scenery."
"I do spend some time in this place, after 16 years in Michigan I did see for first time wild Michigan orchids. Absolutely made my day. Please be carful and make sure others will have the chance to enjoy these unique plants."
"My 9 and 11 year old daughters love walking in the bog. Be prepared to get wet, the water will come up to your ankles in many parts. A new section of trail was just added to connect to a paved trail that runs along side the bog. Last weekend we found the attached picture...my daughters were so fascinated by it."
"Since this place is not near my house I don't come often, however, when I do visit I love every second of it. When I was doing cross-country I sometimes ran here, to say the least, this is a gorgeous place to run. However, the downside is it's not huge if you want to run long distance, but a great place if you want to work out. Along with the gorgeous nature trails within the park, they have a playground, bathrooms, a picnic area with tables, water fountain, and a large field. Not only are there trails in the woods, there are a few trails on the lake where you can walk with some sitting areas here and there. This is a great place for anyone who wants to enjoy nature, especially early in the morning during summers. Also, the facility itself is well maintained and clean."
