Woodsong County Park
In 2008, St. Clair County purchased the 44.5 acre Camp Woodsong site from the
Michigan Waterways Council of the Girl Scouts of America. The property is
located off of Abbottsford Road at the east end of Rynn Road in Clyde Township.
St. Clair County purchased the property for $400,000 using a Michigan Natural
Resources Trust Fund grant. Under the grant, the Michigan Natural Resources
Trust Fund will reimburse St. Clair County for 64% of the purchase price and
eligible costs. St. Clair County Parks and Recreation millage funds were used to
fund the balance of the purchase costs.
Woodsong is a passive park with rustic trails that traverse along scenic, steep slopes
that travel down to 2,800 ft of Black River shoreline. The park is the ideal
place to nature watch. Please note the exsiting trails are rustic, meaning they
follow the natural terrain.
The preservation and acquisition of land for outdoor recreational use is the highest
priority in the County Master Recreation Plan. The purchase of Camp Woodsong
will preserve it for continued use of outdoor recreation including nature study,
hiking, biking, and water activities such as canoe, kayak and fishing access to
the Black River.
A temporary parking lot providing access to the park is located off of Rynn Road
east of Abbottsford Road. An information board with park rules and a park map is
located next to the parking lot.
In 2017 a canoe and kayak launch was added, using a $50,000 grant from the MDEQ.
While the launch itself is fully accessible, it is important to note that steep
trail leading from the parking lot to the launch is not ADA accessible.
Future plans include trail improvements to make the trail easier to use.
