Aman Park Hike

From the main parking area, head across the street that you came in on to find the Interpretive Trail trailhead. Head south along the road as the trail approaches Lake Michigan Drive before bending to the north and crossing Sand Creek. Pass the Black Trail on the right and continue on the Interpretive Trail. At the next intersection, bear left onto the Green Loop (D) toward the western boundary of the park. Before too long, you'll arrive back at the Interpretive Trail to continue north to the next loop; Blue Loop (C). This is a lollipop-style loop that makes up a mile of this ~3.5-mile hike. If you're short on time, head past this loop to continue the climb northeast toward the Yellow Loop (A). Around the three-mile mark, look for the Sweets Monument at the northernmost point of the Yellow Loop (A) and Orange Loop junction. Continue on the Orange Loop back to the start or take the inner section where the Yellow Loop (A) and Orange Loop overlap to visit Aman's Gravesite.

The park is named after Jacob Aman (1850-1928), whose grave is marked off the Yellow Loop (A) and Orange Loop at a boulder with a commemorative plaque. Jacob gifted the city of Grand Rapids the land that the park is now made up of.
