Spring Fun at Highland State Recreation Area - TODAY!

Get outdoors and enjoy spring at your state park… Haven Hill Redbud Reveal is today! Historic buildings open and kids fun and crafting at the Gatehouse… walk the Cedar Creek Trail and head up to the Lodge footprint to see the great new renovations to the site. The former Ford chimney is standing again!

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.
