One cool thing Midland has to offer is an abundance of outdoor activities. Para-waiting doesn’t have to be boring. While you’re here, you can enjoy kayaking down the Tittabawassee River, bicycling on or off road, exploring the canopy walk at Dow Gardens, outdoor dining on Main Street, and more.
Water fill and waste dumping are available nearby at the Midland County Fairgrounds on Eastman Rd.
Let’s pack the field and make 2026 one to remember!
