Something for everyone at Goodells County Park

Goodells County Park provides something for everyone. More and more local residents, visitors, community groups along with area businesses are enjoying the new and the "old" facilities in Goodells County Park.

Many activities and meetings take place at the 366-acre park throughout the year. The summer months are the most active times at the park. Meadows, berms, countless walking trails and the open-air pavilion invite picnics, concerts, horse rings for riders, kites, frisbees, cross-country skiing, hiking, sledding, and stargazing. The Butterfly Garden provides colorful habitat for the caterpillar, chrysalis and adult phases of a butterfly’s life.

The pavilions, barns and buildings can be reserved for private parties or community events by calling 810-989-6960. To see pictures and information of some of the facilities available to rent click here.

Goodells County Park is a growing, changing place that features:

The Historical Village, which includes the Columbus Bible Church (1860), Mudge Log Cabin (1863) Murphy/Ryan Farmhouse (1872) and Lynn Township School (1885), stands as an icon of 19th-century Americana.

The St. Clair Farm Museum is located in the historic farm barns that are from the old County Farm that once occupied the site.

There are two playground areas at Goodells County Park. The south playground, near the Quonset hut and horse rings, features an ADA swing, climbers, slides and more. The newest playground, completed in 2022 is situated on the north side of the park near the Splashpad. This farm-themed adventure is complete with chicken coop, sheep riders, slides, climbers, a tractor and an ADA swing. It’s accessible to all children and within easy access of Pine River Picnic Pavilion and parking.
