During the 1930s and 1940s, Kimball Pines County Park was planted with the idea that many of the trees would one day be harvested. Today, rows of pine trees still stand close together for visitors to see, making the park is the oldest standing group of urban pines in Michigan. Homes for many unique eco-systems are found inside and visitors can enjoy the hiking trails, picnic pavilions and scenic views.
