Top Hidden Gems Near Cedar Springs, Michigan

Cedar Springs is a small town, but the area around it has a lot going on. Here are five spots worth knowing about.

1. Pickerel Lake Park and Fred Meijer Nature Preserve

About 20 minutes away, this 80-acre lake has hiking, kayaking, and birdwatching. The 2-mile loop trail is good for a morning walk or a late afternoon wander. Go early and you will catch mist rising off the water.

2. Rogue River State Game Area

Good fishing and quiet trails. Plenty of spots to sit by the river and eat lunch without another person in sight.

3. Townsend Park

A well-kept park near Rockford, good for families. In fall, the color here is worth the drive.

4. Cedar Springs Brewing Company

German-style beers and soft pretzels in downtown Cedar Springs. A reliable stop after a day outside.

5. The Kent Theatre

A small-town movie theater showing films and community events. Worth checking what is on before you arrive.
