## About

Maybury State Park encompasses nearly 1,000 acres of peaceful rolling woodlands, meadowlands, and serene ravines in Northville. Winter visitors find quiet wooded trails covered in snow, perfect for winter walks, snowshoeing, and cross-country skiing along wide, clearly marked pathways.

At the park's historic working Maybury Farm, families can observe winter life on a traditional Michigan farmstead, visit domestic sheep, cows, and chickens, and learn how farm animals stay warm during the cold months. Flat, paved trail loops near the main Eight Mile Road entrance are kept clear for stroller walks, and heated restrooms are available at the park headquarters and trailhead pavilions.
