The 135-acre Whitehouse Nature Center is run by Albion College as an outdoor education facility.

A Nature Loop

Similar to nearby Dalhem Center, this is not a trail per se, but a number of
them in an enclosed area, with the main trail only being a mile long (round trip). As bikes are not allowed at the colleges request, this is just a set trail loops that can be walked in a small location



The "Main Trail"

Located at the Whitehouse Nature Center near Albion College, the Main Trails title describes itself well. This trail leads to and through all other nature center trails starting at the informative Interpretive Building, leading over the East Branch of the Kalamazoo River, and finally to its terminus at 29.5 Mile Road. A beautiful easy-going trail tunneling through a thick covering of deciduous cover with spectacular riparian views at the Kalamazoo River Bridge. Spend a couple hours traveling through the history trail learning about the Nature Center land - bog fires, old mill, barn foundation, Interurban Railroad, quarry, and gravel pit.
