Avoiding people doesn’t necessarily mean staying inside. 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 can give you some ideas for future outings. Of course please use all precautions to avoid spread of infection.
This is a list of the places we’ve written about, so if we missed any place hopefully we’ll get to it soon!
Be sure to call or check online to see if a destination is open:
