Oh, the Places You’ll Go

Located along the Grand River, Okemos is one of the most beautiful cities around. There are oodles of parks, playgrounds, pathways, and open spaces that the residents of this nature-loving town have access to throughout the year. You can find places to ice skate, ski, fish, golf, hike, and bike in Okemos (though not usually all in the same day). If you’re looking for a place with plenty of outdoor fun and games, Lake Lansing is where it’s at. The lake is home to a historic carousel, and is a great place to boat, fish, picnic, and comb the beach for lost treasures. In the summer months, this is one of the most visited parks in town, especially since there are also free Friday night concerts here. For a more natural outdoor experience, head over to the Harris Nature Center. This is a great place for wildlife lovers of all kinds. You can go cross-county skiing or snowshoeing in the winter, and hiking or biking during the warmer months. Whatever time of year you go, be sure to keep your eyes peeled for critters of all shapes and sizes. If you’d like to learn more about the park and the natural areas in Michigan, be sure to check out the exhibits at the center. There are also a few special programs that you won’t want to miss, including story time and nature programs for the kids, snowshoe classes, and a moonlight ski program. What an awesome place!

Oh, we almost forgot! There’s also the Art Walk Festival, one of the biggest events in town. Move into your new pad before the spring to get in on the fun at this street fair. It’s simply bursting with activities such as sidewalk chalk contests and mural paintings. You can also chow down on lots of good grub, dance to the live music, and make a few new friends!
