Today's adventure leads us over to Seven Mile Creek, a spot out in Lansing with a beautiful trail we can't pass up.

It's rated as an easy hike, and is about 1.2 miles of out-and-back path. It's good for all skill levels, perfect for kids or dogs, and is mostly wheel friendly.

For all-ages nature trips, especially if you have curious kids that love to spot what's hiding in plain sight, we think it works perfectly. It's not so long that they'll be unable to walk back, but it's long enough to tire them out a bit.

Then again, if you want to picnic or stop for a break, they've got seating areas available.

Along the way, you will definitely enjoy a stop at this little shelf waterfall. Not many people know of this spot, but it is beautiful all the same.

Spending the day hiking, sticking your toes in the water, and looking over little bridges is a day well spent.

Grab your bucket list and make sure Seven Mile Creek in Lansing is on it. It's a great addition to any road trip, and a perfect excuse to stretch your legs outside a bit.
