The Grayling Charter Township Nature Park was established in 2003 with a Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund grant from the State of Michigan. Located across the road form the Grayling Fish Hatchery on W. North Down River Rd., it is one of the north's best family parks. Enjoy hiking, biking, huge playscape and playground, picnicking, fishing in the East Branch of the famous AuSable Rive, and safe easy access to the Fish Hatchery. The beautiful pavilion is wonderful for family gatherings with restrooms nearby. The park is open from 9 a.m. till dusk, seasonally. Park rules are outlined in Ordinance 2001-01.
