Its a short loop in Belding, but the trails hook off to a hike that can take you cross the state. There's a couple of small waterfalls, and the trail criss-crosses over a small stream/river. There is even a trail that runs up a small hill to the remenants of a chimney. Belding is a relaxing small recreationl/hiking area thats worth a visit.

If you take a look, you'll be surprised to see that the river even sustains a wild trout population. Fishing and hiking are popular at Belding. You'll see dog-walkers and occasionally some runners too, but for the most part Belding is a pretty quiet and low traffic area. Take a stroll onto the Blue-Blazed hiking trail system. There's a fairly easy 1.5 mile loop that can be accessed by both the Shenipsit Trail or Belding Path.

A great spot to catch the sunset. Always loved running up the hill for a nice jog around town and the hill is an amazing spot in the winter for sledding! The park has certainly lost some of its charm with the pool removing the diver board and closing the pool for the last handful of years. 5 baseball fields here, 3 for little league, 1 for adult league baseball & 1 softball field.

I wouldn't suggest driving too far to visit, but it's a good place overall for a quick bit of afternoon activity for anyone fairly local. The trails are admittedly confusing at times if you go into the back areas due to too many hikers and clearly mountain bikers creating their own alternate routes, but the park is small enough that you should be fine even if you get lost. Bring some water and a cell phone just in case, and ideally print out or take a picture of the trail map if you start in a location where there's a sign. The trails are also notably non-rewarding other than in terms of getting out in the woods get getting exercise. The park also feels generally safe, and the paths and trails are wide enough (particularly the main ones near all the amenities, that you can easily pass people, walk multiple people side-by-side, etc.
