Bandemer Nature Area - Park in Ann Arbor - 1352 Lake Shore Dr, USA

Easily accessible park. It is right off the highway. There was ample parking when we went. You have to go through this bridge. The highlight is the picnic area. There are also grills available. There is also a kayak/canoe launch area which is a scenic spot. We foraged wild plums in the summer. You can also park at the Argo park lot and walk the bridge to get to Bandemer.The stretch of the B2B trail we walked on is stroller accessible. Lastly, the restrooms look like they are compost toilets, without water.

Took advantage of the BEAUTIFUL weather today and investigated this park, as well as the Argo Nature Area and it was amazing. Very clean, well maintained trails, lots of bathrooms. The fall leaves are super beautiful, I saw some hawks flying and other waterfowl by the river. Very relaxing. I walked across the dam and that was lovely too.

This is a beautiful and serene park in Ann Arbor. A very lovely place and the other visitors were very friendly! A gem in Ann Arbor!

A beautiful park right off the 23/14 freeways. Great for biking, trail walking, running... It is also an easy entrance point for a canoe or kayak. There is a Frisbee Golf Course, a dirt biking course (with big mounds) tucked in here too. It is not on the map but it is there. People often come here to fish under the freeway or along the banks. Today is a quiet lovely summer evening and it is a perfect place to be. Someone had even put locks on the bridge (like the love locks bridge in Paris).

Nice small little park. Normally pretty busy with rowers and people hanging out on the dock. Has a dirt bike track/park. Has a port a potty.

Great place to take a walk. So relaxing to walk by the river. Several choices of what path to take. There is a place to rent kayaks and tubes as well. Plus there are spots to have a picnic, some people choose to fish and sun bathe. Picture of the water is the trail by Argo Cascades.

Great 9 hole disc golf course. Played a few rounds, so you can easily play 18. Beautiful landscape, a great little hike, and lovely park overall.

I visited this park 4 times within a month from the first time a colleague recommended it. It’s a beautiful place to behold. It reminds me so much of the rain forests of west Africa. If you want to escape the hullabaloo going on out there it’s the place to be. You could rent a bike, boat, kayaks etc or just chill. Summary: Awesome!
