Robert H. Long Nature Park 40900 West 14 Mile Road, Commerce Charter Township, MI 48390

"This is the nature park closest to a resident I have ever seen; however you would not feel this when you walk in the park. It is small but nice. There many birds in this park. Especially for grey huron, sandy crane, swans and more."

"Stopped on our way home to take in some "nature." It wasn't bad. Saw rabbits, frogs, herings, swans & other birds. Just wish the park had warned of birds sharing picnic area & tables. We stopped to enjoy a picnic snack but had to watch out for small birds flying over head & bird droppings."

"Wonderful bird watching of all kinds. In the spring see geese families and duck families getting their children ready for migration in the fall. Lots of eating and swimming. I saw a family of geese with seventeen chicks. If you see a bigger family please get a pic and post. The path through the area is nice but covered in goose grease so wear outdoor shoes. The area is essentially a boggy pond with bridges connecting the pond areas. There is a covered picnic area with several tables. It would be so much better to hike in if it weren’t for the constant loud road noise from I 5 nearby."

"A pleasant experience. We counted 25 species of birds (and a muskrat) in just an hour, including some you wouldn’t expect to see in a suburban park right next to a highway. The only thing I thought was missing were interpretive signs, but it didn’t detract from the experience - the park made up for it by not having many joggers, dog-walkers, or families with screaming children."

"This park is gorgeous! Wow. It appears unassuming from the road, yet as soon as you approach the park you see the beginning of the beauty! There are easy trails, but you don't have to go far from the lot to see beauty. Ducks and birds, fish, lots of wild plants, lakes, a covered pavilion with picnic tables, a lending library, and I saw some outdoor grills."
