Beautiful place to spend some quality quite time and soak in the Detroits skyline from distance. On the left side you can see Canada and on the right side you can see GM RenCen standing tall and mighty. Gives you a deep sense of nature midst of the busy concrete jungle and offers peace and quiet of a place far away from the metro cities. Traffic on the Belle Isle is very less, and you can find plenty of parking spaces to park your car. Also available at sunset point are a lot of benches and grills to have a quality picnic with your friends and family. Sunset point is fairly clean but keeping geese off is a big issue at this island. They tend to leave their mark all over the place. You will also find a great aquarium and a soccer club nearby. The Casino on the island is also worth checking out. The casino building has a beautiful façade and you can spend hours just marveling the beautiful architecture. The island also has a few play areas for kids all over the place. One place I wish they would have setup the kids play area should have been the sunset point.
Came for a wedding, unfortunately it wasnt pleasant weather ... It was an outdoor wedding and the restrooms were closed where it was ... We went to the Aquarium after for reception. ... my first time here ... I would like to come back on a pretty day ... Aquarium was nice ... pretty tile on the ceiling ....
I mean if you want to sit on a bench and stare at the water this is a great place. Cost nothing to drive out to and no parking fee but other than sitting and staring theres absolutely nothing to do. They did have somewhat clean bathrooms though.
A great view of the Detroit skyline and river. A nice place to watch river traffic and relax. The parking and restrooms make this a great place to start any visit to Belle Isle. The Scott Fountain is a short walk away and beautiful from this angle thanks to the reflecting pool and the cascade from the fountain down to the pool.
This is a wonderful spot to watch the sunset. It would be even better if the area wasnt covered with goose poop. The walkway was tolerable but the grass is covered in the stuff. Other than that, there are places to sit to watch the sunset and there are tables to eat at.
Belly Isle is a nice place for picnic, relax, running or cycling. Sunset Point is on the edge of west side. You can see US on one side and Canada on the other side. You have nice view on Detroit city.
Very nice placeThe best sunset in the cityBeautiful Canada and us views
Had a great time at Sunset Point with my granddaughter! Its a nice place to sit back, relax, and take in the sights on the river.
Spectacular sunset views on the river featuring the skyline of Windsor, Ontario, Detroit, Michigan, and the Ambassador Bridge.
Great place to watch sunsets and enjoy the peacefulness and calming effect.
Best sunset spot, stories all around
Its good to take a picture(With Canada and U.S.)
ITS DETROIT HISTORICAL JEWEL...I COULDNT WAIT TO VISIT BELLE ISLE WHEN THE WEATHER PERMITS...LOL!!!I LIKE GOING THERE TO REJUVENATE MY MIND & EMOTIONS WHILE LISTENING TO MY FAVORITE OLD SKOOL TUNES.
Whenever you come to Belle Isle, this is a MUST SEE! You can miss the aquarium or the conservatory, but you can’t miss the skyline of Detroit and Windsor! It will give some great photos
What a nice place for experiencing both the United States and Canada, with an awesome view of Detroit. Pack a picnic lunch and go and unwind here.
Paramount view of The Motor City! Add a sunset and you will be thrilled!
My visit this past Sunday was solemn for me but still very beautiful despite the GLOOMY weather conditions! SUNSET POINT is wonderful with or without the sun! All you have to do is think SUNNY THOUGHTS and your have Arrived!! #SunsetPoint
One of the most peaceful spots on the island!
I truly believe I found the most romantic spot in Michigan 😍💓💓 what a wonderful way to spend my birthday 🙌
Serene. Quiet. There’s a distance of calmness. An uprising. The resurrection of an Egyptian empire. A Phoenix has risen, flames roaring with opportunity BLAZING the streets. There’s a heart beat, THUD {Gratiot} , THUD {woodward}, THUD {Grandriver}, THUD {Michigan}, blood extends through the main arteries...which there is life in the heart that extends life through the body. We are alive and growing. Sleeping giant. Detroit Land RUSH! The gold rush is only as the eyes see fit!! Beautiful peace. Life CREATES!
Relaxing experience. Enjoyed the views
Sunset Point on Belle Isle is a destination must see for anyone that lives in or near Detroit, or is visiting for the 1st or 100th time. Even on bad weather days the view is awesome. On good weather days its awesomer. Picture this. The country of Canada on the left. The Detroit skyline on the right. A large body of water in the middle connected by the historical Ambassador Bridge on the horizon. Its awesome!
Nice place for watching both sides: USA and Canada. I wast lucky enough for watching in sunny weather so it was foggy. A lot of benches near sunset point let you choose your side)
Find a picnic table in the shade, and relax. Short walk from parking, bathrooms nearby.
Great place for some fun in the sun... water surely feels good on a hot day like today...😎
Sunset Point is an area on Detroits magnificent Belle Isle.The largest island park owned by a Municipality in the World is beautiful, unique, full of life & activity, of all kinds, all the time.The park, in the city that is actually North of Canada, faces both Detroit, Michigan & Windsor, Ontario, Canada. Its position on the Detroit River, the strait that provides a natural border between the US & Canada, provides wonderfully photogenic views of both cities skylines.The park can be accessed on foot, bike, via personal motor vehicle or City of Detroit DDOT Bus and by boat.Belle Isle is so popular with geese, they dont migrate South for the winter from Detroit, but choose to winter on the island.The island is also home to marvelous attractions, including a conservatory, museum, aquarium, all free to the public, along with a golf course, nature center, boat & yacht clubs.
Sunset points offers some of the best views of the Detroit and Windsor skyline to be found.
Should be called trash island. Yall need to clean up this beautiful place!!!! So much potential
Im sure this is a great place to see a sunset. It was a bit cloudy when I visited though
Tons of goose poop. Worth it. You are right in the tip of the island with a view of two countries and so much water.
Nice view of Detroit and Windsor.

A nice place to take photos.
Amazing parkMy best moments were in this place
This place is absolutely beautiful. Totally feels like youre in a different country with the view of Detroit and Windsor at the same time and looking over the river into both. Highly recommend coming over here during sunset and just hanging out with a blanket.
Awesome view of the city, great place to see the sunset
Beautiful park, gorgeous views!
Ever since the state took over Belle Isle it is so nice now. Clean, safe, just a nice place to go. Sunset Point is awesome for taking pictures as well as any place on the island.
This place is majestic! I at first thought this adventure😊would be a waste of time but it turned out I enjoyed myself thoroughly! There was a very calming feel about the end of the peninsula and overlooking the water. I saw my first black squirrel which was quite strange to see at first being from Dallas 😁
Its a beautiful place to go on weekends , take a walk alongside of the water & watch a mesmerizing sunset.Detroit Skyline in background & sky looks colourful with it.. !Park your car & enjoy cool breeze coming from water see the small waves 🌊 crashing in to the land , Awesome View 👍Perfect for taking timelaps & photographyMust see place on Bele Iceland..!!
This Has Been My Home For 65 Years. My Father Worked At Uniroyal For 40 Years! Ive Slept A Many Nights On This Island.
Always beautiful at night, city lights are amazing off the water
Best view of the sunset in Detroit! Worth going at all times of the year and setting up (or parking in the winter) in different areas along the point. Each spot gives a slightly different perspective of the city and with the sun never setting at the same spot you’re always seeing something new.
I love Belle Isle, its a gorgeous park, designed by the same people that designed Central Park in New York. This has been a favorite spot for Detroiters for decades. A beach, picnic facilities, golf, nature center, fountains, conservatory full of flowers, canoeing, deer, so much more! Great place!!!
Best view of Canada & United States and Ambassador Bridge with ships coming and going up and down the river
Beautiful picnic spot
Brother Armstrong is so right what a wonderful world! Im so lucky and truly full of blessed joy to witness and see the sunrise and the glorious closing of another beautiful day. Im happily walking each and every step in gratitude!
Definitely one of the best views of Detroit while still in the U.S. (Windsor has the best view). Well worth biking or driving over to this spot on a nice day. Good amount of parking spots as well, and plenty of grass to bring chairs and hang out.
A good place to go to see the sunset. Beautiful views of Detroit.
Great park went to visit family from Vancouver. Close to Downtown Detroit. If you go early usually its not busy beautiful views around. Great place to visit.
My favorite location in the island to watch the sunset with an amazing view Detroit downtown. Since the State of Michigan took over the island, its cleaner and family friendly. There is also BBQ area at this side of the island.
Beautiful view of downtown Detroit and the Detroit River.
No matter how you put it you can change the name but it will remain the same Belle Isle is the name where all the good memories were accumulated there in the 80s and the 90s man Im telling you when I was younger I enjoyed going to the zoo there the small exhibits there having picnics with my family I even win under the bridge the tunnel I remember all that the island was the place to be now here in the 2000s Different Strokes definitely different folks changing the name and not giving it is Old Glory back is so many interesting things that went on there and now its just the memory I wrote through the island twice this year the scenery still beautiful will little animals they do have the zoo still sits vacant but I can still honestly say if you want a piece of mind and catch a breeze thats the place to be always and forever will be Belle Isle
Beautiful evening with friends and family
Awesome spot for relaxing and reflecting.
Out of all the years of going to belle isle never imagined that this little corner called Sunset Point existed ..I was there visiting along with Crime Stoppers and others remembering some of the people we have lost in Detroit and throwing roses out on the river..what a wonderful little area..
Great place to get some Sunshine 🌞 but the restrooms are still locked for the season and Belle isle has not begun its Spring Cleaning being as though the weather is just starting to break.
Gorgeous spot to relax
Beauty in this word m.pmlm
One of my most favorite places to visit!!Just sit on the edge of the island watching the beautiful sunset!!!Nice photography points as well!
Spectacular sunset between Detroit and Canada 🇨🇦!!!!!
Had a wedding here. Great back drop for the venue! With Windsor and Detroit in the background, many pictures were taken. Had a serene calming effect.
Awesome.place to see the detroit sunset and skyline. You can also see canada as well
Belle island is a very nice place to go and even better now with the level of security. Crime used to be high here not any more .
A great quiet spot to relax and get away from stressful things.
Encouraged Encouragement; this spot will stop your frenzy, calm your mind within your amazement at the beautiful view from this special point on Belle Isle.
Great spot for fishing, picnics, family outings, clean restrooms. Also great spot to just relax and enjoy the view. Nice photo area
Truely has the right name. Best spot to watch the sunset from belle isle

Beautiful for wedding photography
It was awesome. There was a older gentleman playing oldies but goodies going all the way back to the 60s. The best view on the island.
Beautiful place to visit. The city in the background is perfect.

Lovely place..it has earned its name..
Great views and plenty of space for picnics. Can get windy.
Beautiful view of Windsor Canada from belle isle
Lovely location and great view area of the Canadian and U.S international boarder!
Good view of the city and sunrise location, but it can be a little confusing to navigate the roads on the island if they are preparing for a race.
Really clean and safe I was stop there again if I had to go to the girls Room
Beautiful spot which I can recommend
My best friend proposed here. She said no. Great ducks
Its a beautiful place unfortunately when we went there it was raining out
Sad that it took state to step in and bring out full beauty of this park Detroiters better pay attention
The most magical place in the city! Spent with a wonderful person.
Beautiful! Love the upgrades to Sunset Point!
Great view of Detroit. Picnic heaven. Plenty of benches. Relaxing

2022-01-16This is a perfect place to catch the sunset, sunrise, or to walk around and enjoy the scenery. Its a popular place, and the view is absolutely beautiful. Havent been during the day but plan on coming back. A must stop for anyone nearby, passing by or traveling from afar.

2022-01-17Nice place especially in evening. Practically youre near to Canada and can see Canada better, missing only if it had a better skyline on that side, nevertheless Detroit skyline looks great from here.Place might look little worn-out and now have mostly become land of geese and ducks and other creatures.
Review №4
2022-06-25Beautiful, fun area of Belle Isle. Nice restrooms with overpriced, but convenient soda and drink machines. The best time to be there is sunset for photo opportunities, but you can snap a nice pic at the point any time of day. A great place to capture a memory in Detroit. Hopefully the rest of the Riverwalk improvements will be completed by next summer so we can enjoy the outdoors in style.
Review №5
2022-05-05Beautiful location to sit and watch the sun set. You can watch from comfortably inside your own car, grab a blanket and sit outside or walk along the water. Also makes for some great photographs as well.

2018-10-22A great place on the small island, You are just few meters far from Canada, stunning views of Downtown Detroit and Windsor, Canada. A perfect place for Photography. This place is not properly managed these days. We can see lots of trace all around this park. Restroom are closed and dirt everywhere outside of the building. Vending machine are not working and empty. Enough parking spot and awesome atmosphere. Nice place to visit. Good for everyone 🙌
