This 139-acre park within the headwaters of the Grand River watershed, formerly “Camp Chickagami,” a year-round camping facility of the Western Reserve Council of the Boy Scouts of America, is primarily wooded and includes wetlands, streams and uplands. Four trails total 1.62 miles. Recreation areas include a campground, horseshoe pits and an activity field backstop, as well as tetherball during warm-weather months.
We've got four trails with access to camping facilities and a loop among the tall trees of this mature forest.
Overlook Trail – 0.1 – gravel
Camping Loop North – 0.4 – gravel
Camping Loop South – 0.4 – gravel
Hickory Trail – 0.7 – gravel
Chickagami Park is a great place to listen for a variety of calls from a variety of birds.
Among its variety of habitats, a healthy variety of wildlife call Chickagami Park home, including notable songbirds the Purple Finch, Pine Warbler, Great-crested Flycatcher, Wood Thrush and Scarlet Tanager.
Chickagami Park has two shelters and 13 campsites, all reservable.
Pine Grove Shelter can host up to 150 people and offers 12 picnic tables, electrical outlets, a grill, and nearby vault-style restrooms.
Alcohol is only permitted in the shelter, not in the adjacent support facilities such as restrooms, activity areas, trails, parking lots or roads.
