WHERE LAND MEETS AIR

Many say that Pinckney Recreation Area has the best trails in Southeast Michigan, put that to the test and try them out for yourself!


LAND

Paintball players

Hell Survivors Paintball Playfield was not designed for the weak. Hell Survivors has the world’s largest walk-in, self-serve air station. It has been voted the #1 Air Station in the industry. While paintball here is challenging and fast-paced, safety is also a priority. Paintballs are not made of paint but, instead are soft gelatin capsules that contain vegetable oil and food coloring. These capsules are non-toxic and biodegradable

See if you have what it takes to be a hell survivor


WATER

The Brighton Howell Area is the perfect spot to soak up sunny summer weather. When you’re here, you’re never far away from a lake. Bishop Lake, located in the Brighton Recreation Area offers boat rentals, as well as stand-up paddleboard rentals. Stand-up paddleboarding is a fun way to enjoy the water and get a full-body workout at the same time.
