Aspen Park features 7 miles of hiking trails near Gaylord, MI.
Take exit 279 off of I-75 and head north on old 27, you'll be heading into the city of gaylord. You will turn right onto commerce road about 1.5 miles after you exited I-75. I believe this is the second light you will come to, either way Commerce road will be at a light right before Kmart. You will wind down this road past the post office and near an elk viewing area. This road will come to a "dead end" near an apartment complex on the left, but it is quite clear you can keep going straight into the park. This is easy to get to. It only takes about 5 mins to get here from I-75. The trailhead is just before the parking lot and is clearly marked.
