About Wolcott Mill Metropark

Wolcott Mill Metropark combines four areas: a working farm with live animals, a historic grist and feed mill dating to the 1800s, a park with trails and picnic shelters, and a trail system for walking, biking, and riding. Visitors can see sheep, goats, chickens, horses, and dairy cows while learning about Michigan farming history. The Historic Center's building is currently closed, though its grounds and trails remain open. Camp Rotary offers fishing, group camping, and 9.25 miles of equestrian trails.
