Gallup Park
A leashed riverwalk under wooden bridges with a livery and rental dock
About this park
Sixty-nine acres along the Huron River and the most-visited park on the city's east side, anchored by the paved Border-to-Border Trail and a livery that rents canoes, kayaks, and paddleboats. Dogs walk leashed across the bridges and shoreline, with quiet wooded side paths branching off the main loop.

What visitors say
Synthesized from 2595 Google reviewsReviewers love the variety: paved riverside trail wide enough to share with bikes, mulched off-shoots into quieter woods, and the rental livery for breaking up the walk with a paddle. Fall color along the river is the consensus standout window.
A genuinely mixed crowd of dog walkers, runners, paddlers, and families with kids on the paved loop. It's the closest thing Ann Arbor has to a busy urban riverwalk, and the social tempo reflects that.

Before you go
Restrooms get rough reviews, so plan to use one before arrival. Goose droppings cover wide stretches of lawn near the water, so stick to the paved path with a dog on a short leash.
