Just 25 miles northwest of downtown Detroit, Maybury State Park offers a serene 1,000-acre escape. Discover rolling hills, open meadows and winding trails open to hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding and more. Enjoy an accessible playground, a fishing pond, a youth group campground and and the park's riding stable.
The park's history is as rich as its natural beauty: acquired by the state in 1971, it was once the site of the Maybury Sanatorium.
An accessible playground, located near the trailhead building, can be accessed from the Eight Mile Road park entrance parking areas. This state-of-the-art, inclusive playground was made possible through donations from the Michael Berman Family, the Northville Township Firefighters Charity Fund, the Northville Kiwanis Club and numerous community partners.
The park's track chair expands access beyond traditional wheelchairs. The chair is available for visitors to borrow at no cost.
You may not possess or consume an alcoholic beverage at any time in the park (unless the park manager has granted written authorization through an event permit).
Maybury offers 8 miles of equestrian trails and a riding stable. The riding stable is operated by Maybury Stables.
Thanks to the Maybury Trail Riders Association for their work in the park.
