Park Hours: Dawn to Dusk
The Flushing Township Nature Park features over a mile of board walk, three miles of groomed trails, a spectacular observation deck, 1/2 mile of handicap cement trail, a storage pole barn, a pavilion, park office, bathroom facilities, playground, kayak access, and paved parking. In addition, the township has been the recipient of many Eagle Scout projects, some of which include the picnic tables, trail benches, the prairie observation deck, numerous birdhouses, and our cedar flagpole.
The Flushing Township Nature Park acreage originally was platted to be a subdivision connected to the existing Brentwood subdivision. In 1992, then Supervisor Granville Auker suggested that the vacant land would make a great township park.
We would like to thank the Community Foundation of Flushing for the donation of benches and handicap accessible tables for the Nature Park.

Snowshoeing 101
Let’s embrace the spirit of the new year and try a new method of traversing a favorite park! Snowshoes have been used for generations. For-Mar will bring snowshoes to fit most folks and trekking poles, too. This guided hike, just over a mile long, will feature meadows, woods, and a river at rest. In the event of no snow, the hike will occur as scheduled without snowshoes.
