While not a hike, this nice stroll along the Detroit River is well-worth checking out if visiting downtown Detroit. This walk begins just west of Hart Plaza and ends near Renaissance Drive. Along the trail, walkers will find ferry and cruise boats, boarder patrol boats in the Detroit River, and a lively atmosphere as this is a popular spot to hang out or take a walk. Across the Detroit River is the city of Windsor, Ontario, which provides another city landscape that sits on the banks of the river.

Walkers will find parking garages for the near the trailhead and parking coordinates provided; however, this is a very popular walk-in trail if you've parked further away. Please do your parking research before showing up to plan accordingly.

MyHikes is an indie web platform aimed to make exploring public trails easier for everyone. The site has no investors and is owned and operated by one person, Dave Miller (Founder & Admin). As the Founder, main contributor, and doer-of-all-things for MyHikes, I share my trips with over-detailed write-ups for fun on a volunteer basis and I believe that public trail information should be available to everyone.
