Just below the University of Michigan Hospital,  Survival Flight helipad, built along the hillside of the hospital, you’ll find an entry to The Nichols Arboretum;  a 123-acre arboretum featuring a 10 acre restored prairie, over 500 wood plant species, lilac collection, peony garden and more than a mile of frontage along the Huron River.

The meandering trail along the river. Most enjoyable, whether traveling on foot, bicycle or a golf cart.

Under the bridge and down the river, that runs through amazing, natural beauty nestled within the cityscape.
