Oden Island Nature Preserve

The Oden Island Nature Preserve located on Crooked Lake is indeed an island just outside Petoskey’s main area on the way to Alanson. The preserve is made up of large old-growth trees and fragile wetland – a truly unique experience.

The trail is a small one-mile loop with beautiful lakeside views of Crooked Lake. Trail has two benches for enjoying nature.

NOTE: This trail is limited to visiting hours of sunrise to sunset.
