The Tree House Trek celebrates the first universally accessible tree house in the state of Michigan! The tree house is located in the center of the 90-acre Pine River Nature Center and gives visitors a bird’s -eye view of the forest and wetlands near the Pine River. It can be reached from a handicapped accessible woodland trail, making the tree house experience available to children and adults of all abilities. The tree house is designed to bring a sense of wonder and inspiration to visitors, and provide a destination point for the public to learn about and enjoy nature. The tree house was completed in partnership with St. Clair County RESA and is part of the Access to Recreation Initiative.
