The Stone Bride Nature Trail is a 0.7-mile loop trail located within Detroit's Rouge Park. The trailhead is located on Tireman Ave just east of Outer Drive. Renovated during the summer of 2016, the trail is in great shape and has very few, if any, obstacles to climb over/avoid, which makes this trail great to take children to explore. Interpretive signs along the trail provide interesting facts about the Rouge Park environment.
While hiking this trail, you may see deer, muskrats, great blue herons, wood ducks, and maybe even a coyote if you are lucky! This is one of the only areas of Rouge Park that still has old-growth trees, native spring ephemerals, wildflowers, and more!
Nestled in the Stone Bridge Trail, you may also find the location of the Sugarbush project. This indigenous-led, and Black to the Land Coalition project is in full swing, tapping the sugar maples for syrup every year in late winter! Look out for ways to learn about maple tapping and support the Sugarbush efforts by signing up for our newsletter here.
