But within Dow Gardens’ bloom-covered grounds — and on America's longest treetop canopy walk aloft in its Whiting Forest — you’ll find Midland at its most breathtaking heights.
Explore an expansive nature center, trek 30 miles of scenic rail trail, or catch a captivating performance at Midland Center for the Arts — and enjoy each moment in a place that’s equal parts artistic and outdoorsy.
