Introduction:
located just east of the US-23 / I-96 interchange. The park is just south of 96 and has a well maintained paved path. This path is currently having a section added which will connect to Kensington Metropark's paved path (just north of 96). The connector is expected to be completed sometime this summer. Island Lake also offers many other activities including swimming, canoeing, kayaking, and picnic facilities, and organized camping.

NOTE: Please be aware of your surroundings, the paved trail crosses the road in several places.

Season
All year long, park hours only. The summer is great, the humidity can be unbearable but if you are going to sweat anyhow have fun doing it. Temps are usually in the high 70's & 80's. Wear bright breathable clothing, bring some form of bug repellent and as Dr. Lisa always says "Wear Sunscreen".

Considerations:
There are a large number of enthusiast using these paved paths, from joggers, walker, bikers, inline skaters. All these groups need to be considerate to the other, these paths are designed with "Multi-use" in mind. Remember to keep you speed in check, don't spook other trail users or wildlife, and pay attention to your surroundings, especially with The weekend traffic growing heavier and less concerned. As enthusiasts we should all share the burden and use the paths sensibly. Stay in control, and on the beaten path (avoid short cuts), do not to destroy any vegetation, and always throw trash in the garbage cans.
