The beloved Lansing River Trail, a paved multi-use path stretching over 13 miles along the Grand River, is just a short drive away and connects directly to Moores Park, where you’ll find river access, picnic shelters, a kayak/canoe launch, basketball courts, and the historic Moores Park Pool. Frances Park — famous for its rose garden, soccer fields, and stunning riverside sunsets — is also just minutes away. Beyond recreation, the location puts you within easy reach of Potter Park Zoo (approx. 5 min), the Michigan History Museum and R.E. Olds Transportation Museum (approx. 4 min), Michigan State University (approx. 15 min), and Capital Region International Airport (approx. 11 min).
