Black Pond Woods Nature Area
Address:
Ann Arbor,
Category: Parks
34-acre woodland on the north side of the city off Traver Rd. It is bordered by Leslie Golf Course on its east side, and it is located north of the Leslie Science Center. Parking is available in the Leslie Science Center parking lot. No facilities are available in this undeveloped park.
The unpaved trails can be reached from Tibbits Ct., the Arrowwood Housing Co-op, and from behind the Leslie Science Center - Project Grow gardens. The trails wind through the woods of oak, hickory, maple and dogwood. The spring wildflowers offer a terrific show. Black pond is a vernal or seasonal pond, and its murky waters support a variety of wildlife both terrestrial and aquatic.
