Description: Tails and Trails, open since 2004, is a 40-acre park with a network of 1.5 miles of trails and a 5-acre fenced-in area for walking dogs. Dogs on a leash are also welcome on the hiking trails. There is a partially-graveled parking lot, but no toilet facilities for humans.

RiverWood Council proposed new trails here in 2021 and has assisted the Township Parks Commission in mapping, clearing, and grooming the paths. The park has even begun hosting races for the Saugatuck High cross-country team!
