A haven ... More than just the sum of its parts, Chippewa Nature Center is truly a haven - 1,348 acres of woodland, wetlands, rivers and upland fields. At just three miles from downtown Midland, you'll feel like you've landed a half world away from the bustle of the city. Visitors may now reach CNC from downtown (at the Tridge) via the 3.5-mile Chippewa Trail.

Herbert Henry Dow was one of the world’s most famous scientists, but he was also very down to earth – literally. The well-known Dow Gardens was started in 1899 as landscaping around Dow’s Midland home. Eventually spreading over 110 acres, the gardens feature flowers, shrubs, trees, ornamental grass, rocks and water in a series of lush, eye-pleasing vistas. The grounds are now open to the public, annually attracting hundreds of thousands of visitors.
