Pure Luxury

“Call me spoiled - but I love to be treated like a queen when traveling. Only the best is good enough for me. Hotels that make my vacation a dream of luxury and seduction are my choices. Pay attention to the (violet Medal) for luxury accommodation.”

Sustainable Travel

“There is only one earth and we should go out and see it. I like hotels, which look for sustainability. It is not only protecting the ecology, but also taking care for the local business and culture. I recommend the medal for eco accomodation. Let’s protect our earth. Sustainable travel is travelling with responsibility.”

Markus Lenk, Düsseldorf, Germany

The ITC Corridor Trail crosses Novi from north to south; individual parks add trails, waterfront areas and recreational activities to the mix. If you are looking for accommodation in Novi, you can first consider whether hiking and cycling, a stay by the water, or culture and sports will shape your trip. The following places offer specific points of reference.

Trails for Different Plans

The ITC Corridor Trail is 4.66 miles long and crosses the city from north to south. It offers opportunities for hiking and cycling between various parks and communities. Lakeshore Park has a different focus: its mountain biking trail is about 10 miles long, features varied terrain, and is intended for riders with intermediate or advanced experience. There are also wider trails suitable for hiking, family bike rides, and cross-country skiing. Length is not the only factor to consider: the ITC Corridor Trail runs through Novi, while the different trail types and the stated skill level for the mountain biking trail at Lakeshore Park are important points of reference.

By the Water and with a Historical Connection

Lakeshore Park also has a seasonal beach for swimming on Walled Lake. Take its seasonal nature into account when planning. Pavilion Shore Park offers walking paths, a fishing pier, and seating by the water. It also has a historical connection: it was formerly the site of Walled Lake Amusement Park and the Walled Lake Casino. Those interested in a place’s past as well as spending time outdoors will find an additional historical dimension here. The parks by the water offer different attractions: Lakeshore Park has a seasonal swimming beach, while Pavilion Shore Park combines walking paths, fishing, seating, and its former amusement park and casino use.

Landscape and Park History

Wildlife Woods Park covers more than 28 acres of fields and wooded terrain. Its mix of open and wooded areas gives it a different landscape profile from the parks by the water. A 2024 city update lists a total of eight pickleball courts there. Fuerst Park includes a historic township hall building. These parks also have distinct profiles: Wildlife Woods combines nature and pickleball, while Fuerst Park adds a historic building.

Art and Other Recreational Activities

Villa Barr is a place that highlights art and culture in Novi. Stone paths have been laid across much of the park to allow visitors to walk among the sculptures there. Novi Ice Arena has two NHL-sized ice rinks. Jessica's Splash Pad is located in Bosco Fields Park and opened in summer 2024. In addition to trails and parks, Novi therefore offers a cultural destination, an ice sports facility, and a splash pad as different themes to consider when planning your trip.
