Redbuds In Bloom at Haven Hill! Come and See!

Enjoy the outdoors and the beautiful redbuds surrounding the Haven Hill Gatehouse and Lodge footprint at Highland State Recreation Area! Check out the amazing renovations at the former Edsel and Eleanor Ford Lodge site and the Gatehouse.

The Redbud Reveal season-opening event is Saturday, May 9 from 10a-4pm and you’re invited. Historic structures will be open for visiting and there will be fun things for kids to do at the Gatehouse. And the highlight of the show is the wonderful spring enjoyment of Haven Hill and Highland State Recreation Area!

The Friends of Highland Recreation Area (FOHRA) volunteer organization was established in 2007, and is a 501 (c) (3) tax exempt non-profit organization operating under lease agreement with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources. Within one of the most picturesque, fascinating, and historically significant state parks in southeast lower Michigan, our goal is to combine the former Haven Hill estate history with Highland Recreation Area’s existing amenities, wilderness, and recreation.
