  • The Huron River History Book
    THE HURON RIVER Robert Wittersheim Over 15,000 years ago, the Huron River was born as a small stream draining the late Pleistocene landscape. Its original destination was Lake Maumee at present day Ypsilanti where a large delta was formed. As centuries passed, ceding lake levels allowed the Huron to meander over new land eventually settling into its present valley. Its 125 mile journey today begins at Big Lake near Pontiac and ends in Lake Erie. The Huron’s watershed, which includes 367 miles of tributaries, drains over 900 square miles of land. The total drop in elevation from source to mouth is nearly 300 feet. The Huron’s upper third is clear and fast, even supporting a modest trout fishery. The middle third passes through and around many lakes in Livingston and Washtenaw Counties. Eight dams impede much of the Huron’s lower third as it flows through populous areas it helped create. Over 47 miles of this river winds through publicly owned lands, a legacy from visionaries long since passed. White Lake White Lake Mary Johnson The Great Lakes which surround Michigan and the thousands of smaller lakes, hundreds of rivers, streams and ponds were formed as the glacier ice that covered the land nearly 14,000 years ago was melting. The waters filled the depressions in the earth. The glaciers deposited rock, gravel and soil that had been gathered in their movement. This activity sculpted the land creating our landscape. In section 28 of Springfield Township, Oakland County, a body of water names Big Lake by the area pioneers is the source of the Huron River.

Much credit can be given to Henry S. Curtis and Harlow O. Whittemore for making the Metroparks a reality. The 1937 vision for a park system proposed a series of parks connected by a long parkway extending from Lake St. Clair along the Clinton and Huron rivers to Lake Erie below the mouth of the Detroit River. Funding of the parks began in 1942 with a property tax levy, limited to one-quarter of one mill. The rate today has been adjusted to .2146 mills. PARK DEVELOPMENT TIMELINE 3 Introduction Administration & Operations Board of Commissioners A seven-member Board of Commissioners governs the Huron-Clinton Metropolitan Authority. The Board of Commissioners meets the second Thursday of each month, where they make policy decisions for the Authority, including approving expenditures, acquiring land, planning of new parks and facilities, approving fees and charges, awarding contracts through competitive bidding, and other matters necessary to provide regional recreation.

  • Huron River Water Trail Trip Description 1 Hudson Mills Metropark
    Huron River Water Trail Trip Description Hudson Mills Metropark (Mile 67) to Delhi Metropark (Mile 58.3) - 3.5 hours; 8.7 miles Launch at the Rapids View Picnic Area in Hudson Mills Metropark, near North Territorial Road. This trip provides easy access to both launch and take-out sites. Paddle through parkland and then into Dexter. TRIP DESCRIPTION: Excerpt from “Canoeing Michigan Rivers: A Comprehensive Guide to 45 Rivers” by Jerry Dennis and Craig Date provided with permission from Thunder Bay Press. Put in at Hudson Mills Metropark, where there is good access and parking just below Territorial Road [at the Rapids View Picnic Area]. Upstream, fair access and parking are found a Bell Road. [Note: Launching at Bell Road will take you past the Hudson Mills canoe campground and rapids where a portage is recommended.] The river here is 60-90 feet wide and alternates sections of slow water one to four feet deep with sections of very shallow riffles. Low water in summer will produce some bottom-bumping. Hudson Mills has been the site of a saw mill, grist mill, cider mill and plaster mill, the earliest dating back to 1827. Today, only the ruins of foundations and a short stretch of light rapids mark the spot just below Territorial Road Bridge where the mills were located. The rapids can be run down the chute at left center. Pumpkin- to bushel-size rocks create standing waves that could become fairly high during high water. If in doubt, portage on the left just beyond the bridge. Light riffles extend well into Hudson Mills Metropark, where there are several access sites and two overnight canoe campgrounds.
