Hiking
Located within the Barton Nature Area, Barton Damn is a hydroelectric dam that helps to supply the city of Ann Arbor with power. Constructed in 1912, the dam also created Barton Pond which helps to supply the water supply for electricity generation. In the nature area you will find picnic areas and walking paths.
