Hannah Nature Area

Hannah Nature Area is a small 1-acre nature area in a wooded ravine nestled between houses with a steep and winding trail. View the Ann Arbor Parks and Nature Areas map​ for location context​. Removal of invasive plants here has allowed large stands of native jewelweed and false Solomon’s seal to bloom in this park, along with many other native wildflowers. There are a couple of natural groundwater seeps too, with irises growing in them. Cooper’s Hawks sometimes nest in the tall trees, and Eastern Phoebes are regularly seen in spring and summer, catching insects over the seeps.​ Hannah is a short walk from West Park and Maryfield Wildwood Park.

There are entrances to the park on Arbana Drive, Mark Hannah Place, and Bath Street. There is street parking available on all three of these streets.

The park can be reached on foot and bicycle by walking and riding through the neighborhood streets. A gravel path connects Mark Hannah Place and Bath Street. There are sidewalks along Huron Street but no bike lanes.
