Ann Arbor Parks and Nature Areas

102-acre park located along the Huron River on Huron River Drive, a few miles north of downtown. (Actually, the park is in two sections. The larger main section is known locally as the oxbow. The western section, 24 acres of the total, is accessible by boat from Barton Pond and is known as Foster.) The main parking lot is located on Huron River Dr, just northwest of Bird Rd, near Barton Dam. A smaller pull-off lot is located further east on Huron River Dr. near M-14. Bridges from the parking areas allow pedestrian access to the oxbow area. There is a picnic area and toilet next to the main parking lot.
