Came back with my SO to show off fall and some of the best donuts and cider nationally. I needed my fall weather fix and colors. Yates never fails to deliver with delicious food and beautiful surroundings.
Different kind of experience not very far from Detroit, just within an hours trek from the city.
Though he place was less crowded when we went, Yates Park got crowded as the day went by. On a sunny but cold day, plenty of young families with kids and dogs came to enjoy apple cider, doughnuts and nature.
We took a small trek in nature for about an hour.
Highly recommend for folks in Detroit and and for those visiting the place.
Best donuts and cider in my opinion, but watch out for the bee’s cause they will get you! My advice is to walk down the path or away from the Mill so you can eat in peace ☺️
Nice little park across the street to Yates Cider Mill and along the Clinton River. Crossing the bridge over the river leads to trails connecting to another park. A common place to launch kayaks or just relax.
Getting there at 1pm you can get in the store easily but as the day went it got busier with a line. The good thing the line moves quickly. There was a petting zoo, plus fudge shop, ponies and other items in the main area. The trails were easy to walk and even the trail next to Clinton River was not bad to travel and a little more peaceful than the main trail. A great afternoon we spent for a nice 3 hour getaway.
