    The Black Pond Woods Nature area is found just north of the city center of Ann Arbor. The park is 54 acres in size, and is comprised mostly of woodlands and wetlands. The park gets its name from a small pond that turns very dark brown/black in the autumn due to the leaf pigments of the surrounding trees in the forest.

      This is a great trail compared to everything else in the area! It's hidden, it's actually BEHIND the science center. There are four trails to choose from. Black, Red, Yellow, and Green. Bring good shoes because you'll encounter a lot of inclines and a few rabbit trails ahead on all four trails. I suggest the black trail. It takes you right to the black pond. The pond is in a small valley, away from roads, and is very quiet. There's a small pontoon bridge over it. Whether you walk to explore the area or jog to build up your stamina, it's a great trail either way!
