Wilmot Township Park
Wilmot Township Park is a quaint and peaceful park located by the west branch of the Sturgeon River. It offers a wheelchair accessible parking lot, picnic tables, and a fenced playground suitable for kids. Visitors can enjoy fishing in the river, relaxing by the water, having picnics in the pavilion, and letting dogs roam as they are allowed in the park. The park features multiple seating areas, open grassy spaces, and a little covered shelter, making it ideal for family outings and quiet reflection. While the picnic tables and benches could use some updates and there are no visible trash bins or poop bags, the park’s natural beauty and tranquility make it a pleasant spot to visit.

Excellent roadside park very small with some grills a little covered shelter and some benches along the river peaceful quaint I don’t know what else I can say very woke up and it’s on the west branch of the sturgeon River which is even better cold and flat fast flowing
Absolutely beautiful place to stop and have a picnic, play Frisbee, toss a ball around, or sit by the river and reflect. There’s a general store not far from the park to pick up the makings for a picnic, or stop by one of the restaurants for takeout, and eat at the park.
The picnic tables and benches need updating, and there were no garbage cans, so be prepared. Fixing those two little things would give this beautiful spot 5 stars.
If you enjoy fishing, it’s easy to do from the shore, and adults can even wade in the river (I didn’t see any signs saying no swimming). The current is a little fast for kids though. Enjoy!
Great little roadside Park. Great little water feature pavilion could use a little bit of maintenance but the grass was freshly cut and there was multiple different seating locations to view the scenery and running water and still maintain social distancing parking was not an issue although if it was ever busy I’m not sure where everyone would park besides the grass great little monument there for those who paved the way for preserving our woods and Waters in northern Michigan. I will definitely stop here again when I’m in the area the water was so peaceful and tranquil definitely a place I would recommend for an afternoon walk or eating your lunch
Great little park to visit. You can fish in the river, let kids play in the new playground that’s fenced in, have a picnic in the pavilion and enjoy the beautiful scenery!
just south of this park is an adorable gnome village, too bad no one is keeping it up. just needs a little tender loving care. we enjoyed looking at them
