about Kensington Metropark:

Kensington is most popular for its eight-mile paved path that circles Kent Lake. The pavement is smooth and the hills are just challenging enough to work up a good sweat - and it's a terrific place for the kids to practice on their own bikes or blades.

This park is loaded with beautiful, scenic spots. The Island Queen II, a 39-passenger pontoon boat makes hourly trips from 12n-6pm for just a few bucks/person. Rowboats and kayaks can be rented as well. Fishing is allowed year-round.

A surprisingly large indoor/outdoor Farm Center is worth the trip alone. Hayrides and sleigh rides are offered. Take a self-guided tour of the park's Nature Center and take a chance at spotting fish, heron, swans, deer, and many species of birds.

Kensington's 18-hole, par-71 golf course has courses for men and women. A free, 24-hole disc golf course starts near Martindale Beach. Throughout the year, organized youth groups are welcomed to camp in the park.

In the winter months, there's ice skating, and some really great sledding hills, with separate areas for your little ones (snowboarding is not allowed). Two toboggan runs are located in the Orchard Picnic area. Shush for hours on the 12 miles of groomed cross-country ski trails that loop around the park.

tips:

Check out the Annual Vehicle Entry Permit; it's good at all Huron-Clinton Metroparks. A Joint Park Pass permits entry to all of the Metroparks and Oakland County Parks.
