The Northwest Greenway is Plymouth’s nature preserve, featuring approximately 350 acres of woods with trails for both hikers and bikers and a brand new challenge course for teens and adults. The preserve spans two-miles between Lake Camelot and the greenway’s south trailhead. The Greenway connects to the Medicine Lake Regional Trail, which links French and Elm Creek regional parks. Paved trails provides nearly 7.5 miles of walking and biking opportunities. Other amenities include an open-air pavilion for picnics and other gatherings. The city of Plymouth has recently opened a brand new challenge course in the greenway. This “playground” is geared toward teens and adults, presenting unique challenges and activities, such as net climbing, balancing and agility on different surfaces and structures. Perfect for families with older kids who want to have some ninja-training fun. One of the two main purposes of the greenway is to preserve natural resources and provide a wildlife corridor in rich with high quality wetlands and trees. As you explore the walking paths, search for signs of wildlife and enjoy the natural beauty. Stop along the way to enjoy scenic overlooks. The greenway is connected to many adjacent community and neighborhood parks, dog parks and playfields in Plymouth. View the Plymouth Park Finder to explore the amenities each park has to offer. The pavilion will be available to rent for private events, such as birthday parties, beginning in 2022. The newly constructed open-air pavilion offers amenities such as an adaptable plaza, drinking fountains, restrooms, and an area for serving with sinks and refrigerator. Find more information here.
