Native American lands and athletic parks
While there aren’t many traditional parks in Mulliken, residents have plenty of opportunities for outdoor recreation nearby. Centennial Acres Golf Course is 4.4 miles to the west and has 27 holes for players to practice on. Additionally, 6.5 miles north will take people to the Portland State Game Area. The publicly owned land is both a wildlife conservation and a haven for outdoor enthusiasts. Visitors can go camping, hiking, hunting and fishing along the Grand River or travel to the grave site of Chief Okemos and learn about the former Native American tribes of the area. For something more family-friendly, residents can go to Oak Park or Fitzgerald Park in Grand Ledge to let their little ones have fun on the playground area.
Comfort food at small-town restaurants
Despite its mostly rural landscape, Mulliken has a few dining and retail options that its residents can enjoy. There are several local businesses along Charlotte Street and restaurants along Michigan Highway 43. Mulliken Roadhouse offers a casual dining experience with standard bar food where residents can eat a plate of wings while listening to live music. For good old-fashioned home-cooked meals, Swedes Restaurant across the street serves savory pot roast and roast beef sandwiches. For more options, residents will travel outside the township. “Most people go to Grand Ledge for all their shopping. It has everything you need,” Sandborn says. Roughly 8 miles along M-43 will get people to downtown Grand Ledge, where there are plenty of big box stores like Walgreens and local places like Revival Collectibles and Trek Bicycle. Many get their groceries from Meijer and grab a quick bite to eat at one of the fast-food joints like Pizza Hut or Jersey Giant Subs.
