Seven Ponds Nature Center

Seven Ponds Nature Center in Lapeer County invites families onto the water for Paddle the Ponds, a naturalist-led canoe paddle timed for peak fall color. Participants glide across the center's ponds watching for wildlife and the changing autumn foliage while a naturalist points out what lives along the shoreline. The paddle runs Saturday, October 17, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. Children must be at least 5 years old to ride in a canoe and at least 10 years old to paddle, so younger kids can come along as passengers with an adult. All Seven Ponds programs require pre-registration and space is limited. The fall program page does not list a fee for this paddle, so confirm the cost when registering. The nature center cares for nearly 500 acres of woods, prairie, wetlands and lakes on Crawford Road near Dryden.
