FRENCH REGIONAL PARK
THREE RIVERS PARK

  
This is a 310 Acre Park , located on the north shore of Medicine Lake in Plymouth.  French Regional Park offers a variety of opportunities for outdoor exploration. 

Park visitors can paddle the scenic channels of Medicine Lake, take a refreshing hike through maple woodlands, or launch a boat and enjoy a day on the water.  The park's fabulous creative play area and swimming beach are popular summer attractions for area children, and its terrific picnic areas have long been a favorite setting for family or corporate outings.  The park's lighted trails attract scores of autumn hikers and cross-country skiers, and its turf pet-walking trail is a popular destination for dog walkers.  Paved trails lead from the park entrance to the visitor center, play area and beach.  They connect to the regional trail along the lake's east shore and eventually lead to the Luce Line State Trail.
