April 22 marks earth day--and there's no better way to observe the holiday than to enjoy and participate in the preservation of our earth's natural beauty. Week 2 of Kalamazoo Trail Blazin' takes you to Asylum Lake, a large plot of preserved land surrounded by growing businesses and a bustling Kalamazoo. Before you hit this trail, please remember to honor earth day by limiting the waste of water and electricity, and by reusing paper and plastic bags, tin foil and old fabrics before you recycle them or throw them away!
Asylum Lake:
Owned by Western Michigan University, the Asylum Lake Preserve is located in the southwest corner of the City of Kalamazoo. It consists of more than 274 acres of prairie, forest and trails surrounding Asylum Lake. These grounds remain a research hub for WMU professors and students of anthropology, biology, geography, hydrogeology and environmental studies.
Parking for Asylum Lake is located on Parkview Avenue and on Drake Road, between Stadium Drive and Parkview Avenue. Foot trails leading to the lake may be accessed on Winchell Avenue.
