Not all places will be open or appropriate, but here’s a list of parks and other places to explore in Oakland County, as well as some other destinations that may not be good to visit during the pandemic, but can give you some ideas for future outings. Of course please use all precautions to avoid spread of infection.
This is a compilation of our Explore! columns, with more to be added as we can. Help us add more by becoming a sponsor!
