Cabins near Ann Arbor

·
Ann Arbor sits in southeast Michigan, about an hour west of big-city Detroit. The area is fairly rainy year-round and gets quite chilly in winter, so summer visitation is recommended. From May to September, you'll see a comfortable temperature range of about 70 to 85 degrees. Pickney Recreation Area is about a 30-minute drive northeast from Ann Arbor proper. This one's a great stop if you're looking for a range of hiking experiences. Hit the light hills of the 2-mile Silver Lake Trail for a quiet walk. The 5.1-mile Crooked Lake Trail is more highly trafficked and makes a better choice for bikers. Head straight north on US-23 for about an hour to reach Seven Lakes State Park. This area is marked by particularly verdant farmland and forests. With a total of 230 acres of water, there's also plenty of shoreline here. Haas Lake Park features an RV park appealingly laid out among four spring-fed lakes. Swimming and fishing are both popular, though only non-motorized boats are allowed on the water. Feel like a bit of friendly competition instead? The park hosts a two-hole golf course, basketball courts, and a volleyball pit.
