Trail Update
Oakland County Parks and Recreation is constructing natural areas accessibility improvements as part of a Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund grant at Highland Oaks County Park. Improvements include the development of universally accessible boardwalks, trails, fishing piers and wildlife viewing areas.  Anticipated completion of this project is expected in fall 2013.  Please expect a few temporary, intermittent closures of some existing trails during new trail construction.PROJECT MAP.  
 
A new parking lot/park entrance will be constructed along Milford Road, south of the currently existing parking lot. Following completion of the new parking lot/entrance by October 1, 2013, the parking lot to the north will be designated primarily for equestrian trailer parking space.

Thank you for your cooperation as we work on these exciting recreation improvements!
