Very peaceful to walk the river walk good schenery to take pictures very romantic to walk if you are a couple its very nice to take the kids as well and to take pictures with your childrens nice family park and carousel for the kids to play and ride on
Great views the best place to vibe and enjoy the day.
Love the riverwalk! Been going here ever since I was little. It just gets better each year. Definitely recommend
An absolute gem!! One of my favorite paths to walk my dog and ride my bike. The scenery is beautiful and the breeze always feels nice! Its always a good day if Ive been to the Riverwalk!
Beautiful place to visit. They have rentals for bikes, electric scooters etc. Great walkway along a healthy looking Detroit River.
Do not miss this place when you are in the downtown Detroit! It is great place to take a walk and enjoy the great view with your friend, your pet, and even yourself. Well... it is pretty cold during the winter season. And some section of the river walk park is closed for a reason. I recommend you get there after spring :)
Great place to walk, run, have lunch, watch boats, & many other activities. 2 years running voted best boardwalk in the USA by readers of USA Today.
Ive always had a fun time down here,have met new people each time Ive come down. Everyone seems to enjoy their time down here and are not shy in conversing with others.
Love the breeze off the water on hot days. Great place for exercise or a stroll after a dinner date.
Best riverwalk ever! Come from ohio just to take a stroll
Beautiful, quiet, and very nice
Love the river walk experience great days and people watching here was awesome to relax and enjoy the city.
Great place to relax and unwind. They have several lounge chairs under the trees and fountain of water where kids can play around. There is also a nearby open-space cafe which offers snacks and ice so you can get ice here and not stop over at a gas station. They also have restroom. There is lots of stuff going on and just walk straight ahead if youre coming from the park and youll reach the front of the Renaissance Center and a little walk further leads you to Downtown Detroit. There is free parking by the Riverfront park.
Visited in July/2018. This Riverwalk development was a huge improvement over what was there before. I really enjoyed walking it, and enjoyed looking at the plants, trees, water, and fellow walkers, runners, bicyclists, etc. It was nice that they had a large police and security presence down there. It makes you feel that you are fairly safe. I recommend to check it out next time that you are in the D baby! :)
This is a wonderful place to come and chill, fish, and just hang with the family. Theres sand boxes and swings for the kids and a bar for the adults. Come riddle the carousel its tons of fun. The area is highly patrolled by Detroits finest law enforcement. Walk the little paths or jog its up to you. You can ride/rent bikes here people even use skates and skateboards. And last but not least if you didnt pack a punch you can purchase food at the food court and yes there are rest rooms....enjoy have a great summer.
Perfect for walk or a run. Marks for miles on the track, I believe total is 8 miles. Can get coffee or small bites from the Renaissance or Cheyenne or River Walk cafe (if open). Well maintained.
The only complaint is the people taking parking places from people waiting other than that it was nice and relaxing. They need to provide more parking. Also, you can take a boat ride there on diamond jacks river tours 15.00.
Enjoyed it this time, didnt have to smell all the weed smoke like most times when I go down there.
Love it. Peaceful but yet social , breezy and scenic, close to other activities in walking range
One of my favorite places to go. Unfortunately I have to go super early because it has become the new Belle Isle.
This was a love place to visit, especially at sunset. It was nice to enjoy a freshly prepared beverage from the bar and lookout to Canada across the water. There was also a carousel and sitting area.
I do not usually travel much to Detroit other than the random trip to a game. The Riverwalk was a great place. The atmosphere was light. There were a lot of people around but it wasnt too crowded. They sure are doing an amazing job bringing the city back!
The Detroit Riverwalk is rated one of the best in the USA. Its a good walk. However it still has some spots that require you to walk around construction at the former Joe Lewis Arena and at the Dequindre Cut. I cant wait for that to be completed.
The Detroit River Walk goes along side the Detroit River. It is so nice and peaceful. I took my walk at about midnight. The lights reflecting on the water from the boats and buildings were absolutley beautiful. I walked from the Port Authorty, all the way past the Aretha L. Franklin Amphitheater (Chene Park)
Great place to walk. Not only is the scenery beautiful, but it is very safe. Cant wait for the walkway to Belle Isle is complete.
A beautiful Riverfront Walkway from Hart Plaza to Belle Isle. Children and family friendly. Easy parking at William Milliken State Park and Harbor.
Cool location to hangout and pass some time. Canada is easily visible across the water, the bridge to Canada is in sight. Beautiful spot for family or friends
We had a wonderful time on the RIVERWALK. #1 RIVERWALK in the Country. Looking forward to seeing more. 👍😎
Excellent place to spend the time with family & friends. Good scenic place. One will really enjoy the walk/ cycling on the river side. Good places for relaxation are created alongside the path.
Great place to spend time during summer evenings. Lots to see and do nearby. A must see for anyone visiting Detroit. You can also rent bikes on a hourly basis, and this is especially useful if you are headed to another spot within the downtown loop.
Great place to relax an unwind..many things to do. rent bicycles, scooters..
It is a beautiful park and place to take your family for a picnic the park is for all ages
Amazing place to visit almost all around the year. Nice view of clean River..Canada side buildings.. Skyscraper of GM building in Detroit..Fresh air gives you enough reason to jog and walk on the river side. Has a kids play area too and free parking .
Beautiful area to walk or relax. There is a water area that kids and adults can cool down in on hot days. There is cute little sand area for building sandcastles and a little boardwalk cafe to grab a cheeseburger or nachos as a snack. Overall, just a nice place to spend an afternoon with family.
Nice experience. Best time to go is early in the day.
Absolutely Beautiful! Love Bike Riding on the River walk....always stop for an ice cream float.
Good idea, a lot under construction when we were there. A couple miles in length. Great views across to canada.
By far one of my favorite places to visit with my family. The walk is soothing and they view over the river is astonishing. Also the GM building is right in front so you can take amazing pictures!
I was so pleased at how clean and peaceful I found the river walk. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves also.I look forward to taking another walk around here.Detroit has made such a Hugh effort to renew so many areas of downtown and are doing a fantastic job!
The RiverWalk is a pleasant area to relax on a bench while contemplating life. Very clean, quiet and pleasant atmosphere to relax, read or take a walk. I felt safe due to the amount of security and so proud of one of Detroits waterfront gems. Also, appreciate the free parking!
Beautiful park I just attended a 5k here
Its the best place for relaxing and enjoying time appreciating the water.
There aren’t even words to express how beautiful the Riverwalk area is. Every other year we are in Detroit for competition (around August) and we always make it a point to stop here before we leave. The kids love it and the weather is perfect during that time. It’s so nice and peaceful to just sit there and look at the beautiful river and our neighbors (Canada)! I absolutely love it here! You can ride your bike, jog, walk, eat lunch, or just enjoy the scenery. They even have some pretty water fountains that kids ran through. It’s very clean and they have public restrooms available.
A lovely place to do and see. Enjoy a nice stroll, good food and people watching. A beauty place next to the lake.
Beautiful landscape with a perfect view of Canadas shoreline. Great walking trails and simply the perfect spot for a quiet retreat.
A must visit! Put on some comfy shoes and clothes, sun screen if its a sunny day, bring a thermos of water, maybe some of your favorite coffee and snacks, find a seat, lounge chair, bench heck sit in the sand if you want but get out there! On weekends the carousel is working so the kids would enjoy that, they also have a designated child playscape area. Adults if youre looking for a Zen area to do yoga youve found your spot(jus get here early its more peaceful) if youre looking for a jogging, biking, rollerblading, skateboarding or jus walking yep youve found it! Ahhh if you jus want to relax, sit and reflect of life yep find it here!(plenty of spots to sit, from benches to lounge chairs even anorandak chairs find a spot lay back and relax!
Such a beautiful place… great for a morning walk
It takes a lot to dazzle me. I was very impressed. Clean and people were happy to be there. Eclectic group of fabulous humans.There a chairs and benches throughout. Sand lot for the kiddos. Merry go round, water feature yo get tootsies wet. Kids really were having fun.Well be back and recommend to all!
A great place for relaxing, boat ride, jogging, eating, and the beautiful scenery of the river.
A jewel in the city of Detroit the river is always beautiful people walk the air early in the morning as well as throughout the day but it is very special in the morning people are friendly and it is nice to walk past people that smile and speak to you.
Love the Riverwalk they are still expanding the Riverwalk its great looking across the Detroit River seeing the country of Canada. You can bike or walk the Riverwalk. People also come down and go fishing. Its great seeing families and people in general everyone speaks passing by.
Great place to walk, bike or just relax. I loved this place so much that we came back next day too. There are multiple stations to rent bike. Usually busy on weekends and hard to find parking but totally worth the view with Canada across the river.
Its just beautiful! And they have a lot to do there. Go there as much as we can!
Its so nice and wonderful to go with your family or with your grandchildren and have a great day. I will be going back again soon
Its one of the more beautiful scenes in Detroit. I go their to just sit and listen to the water. It stretches from Belle Isle to downtown Detroit near GM Headquarters. The views of Canada are nice as well. Its a great area to run or bike ride. The city is continuously developing the river walk. A new trail was added this summer. Sometimes I take pictures. Mommy and Daddy geese were out with the kids.
Beautiful area so relaxing soothing love the water take everything away
Pretty nice and can treat yourself to ice cream in front.
Scenery was so beautiful. I really enjoyed the day!
Beautiful place to visit. They did a great job with this park. Glad to see some parts of Detroit in great shape.
Its always beautiful and peaceful here;even in cold weather.
The river walk is so clean and the atmosphere was peaceful absolutely beautiful...
Beautiful views year round, day and night, of the city and the river! Its a relaxing walk unless theres an event or a holiday. Sometimes, there are exercise classes hosted along the river with gorgeous views of the sunrise!
Nice area right on the Detroit River. Crowded on the day we were there. Snack shack for drinks and ice cream if you want it.
If it rains everything closes, even when you visit the place with your umbrella willing to take the tour. So if you go, be sure that it will be a sunny day.
Almost 200 food trucks!! I was sooo overwhelmed...I also enjoyed people watching, however the walk to and from the Riverfront was quite a distance from where we parked, so be sure to wear comfortable shoes...
Nice not much going on able to relax during evening hours
Great place, cool atmosphere and Ive enjoyed the place
Very nice place for a stroll or a bike ride. We rented a tandem bicycle and had a nice morning.
Definitely need to go there , and see this beautiful river walk , glad been there .
This walk along the river is super pretty with well manicured landscaping and plenty of places to sit. Its bike-friendly with a bike rental place at one end. There is some construction at the far end, but the rest is very beautiful. A good place to visit as a tourist.
A lovely walk. Places to sit and look at the river and Canada across the water. Well utilized.
Beautiful Tuesday afternoon took my MOM to get some of the warm sun n view the gorgeous scenery.
Very nice view to the border of us and Canada and very nice in night before closing very peaceful
Beautiful scenery a great place for walking or running or bike riding or just hanging out
Beautiful area in Downtown Detroit. Lots of interesting statues, fountains, restaurants, & the Detroit Princess Cruise Ship. Theres also a merry-go-round, a marina, & a spectacular view of the Detroit River
Such a beautiful place to visit! Love this area!
The RiverWalk is one of our very Fav things to do. You can grab a Great burger or slice of yummy cheesy pizza, and watch the barges go by on the river... Or let the kids play in the fountains in front of the GM building or go on this Amazing carousel. This is a true Gem of Detroit. Come out and enjoy it!!
I do this every time I come into town, I love it. Its peaceful and also its just cool that canada is riiight there! Theres a lot of cool little attractions as you walk that are awesome, definitely a good time.
Nice place, beautiful view, very chill, lots of diversity.
Miles of landscaped, paved walkways with beautiful views of the river, the Canadian skyline, and sculptures.
Always very pretty
Very relaxing, peaceful and safe and everyone getting along even with all types of bicycles, skateboards.
Very beautiful area.. would love to come here again
I loved to walk with my friends
Had out of town guest.from Texas and New York. They Loved the Riverwalk..
Ran the riverfront 5k. The riverwalk is a great place for a run or walk
Good place to relax and enjoy the view.
What an incredible surprise. Went with friends, unsure of what to expect and when I arrived, it felt like I was in Chicago along Lake Michigan. The condos around there were so cute. And the walkway was so nice. It was a beautiful day with a great view. I felt very safe there.
Great place to walk, run, or sit and enjoy the view.
I really enjoy The RiverWalk. I Love watchin the boats and walkin enjoyin the nice breeze .
Beautiful day in Detroit. Fresh sunshine, cool air, families out enjoying this lovely Sunday
The water is so beautiful to look at. There is food, a carousel, a huge sandbox and water sprayers in the ground. It was so much to do there, plus you get the scene of water and the sound of water hitting against the riverwalk as you walk down it.
The Detroit Riverwalk spans from the Milliken State Park Lighthouse to the convention center (Cobo). Walking along this scenic pedestrian/cyclist pathway along the Detroit river is the best way to get a view of the nicer side of Detroit. Of note, the Cullen Plaza and Hart Plaza are open spaces to see various monuments/statues, and the GM Renaissance Center is also by the Riverwalk. The 2 plazas are popular with tourists trying various poses with the GM Renaissance Center in the background. Free 2-hour parking is available near the Cullen Plaza, but if youre really planning to tackle the entire Detroit Riverwalk, 2 hours is really not enough time. Be careful with parking over 2 hours at the free lot, the Detroit PD patrols the spaces religiously. The Detroit Riverwalk does get busy on the weekends, but if people watching is your thing, there is no safer place to do it than here.
Perfect place to go and relaxAlways fun going on the river walk,events nearby all the time
Nice, but need to keep some of the visitors riding bikes from playing very very loud music. Its entertaining, just not that loud!
A wonderful place to get out and explore and get some exercise. See many many people walking, running, biking, and on scooters enjoying the area. West Riverwalk is kept up like the rest of the waterfront. Revisit several times a year and always enjoy returning. Highly recommend getting out and seeing the West riverfront. Also check out dequindre cut!
Beautiful Day to JUST DO NOTHING along the water side.. The Riverwalk is the best place for it... ENJOYING LIFE💞
Great view of the Detroit River and Windsor, Canada. If you want to take a large walk along this river, this is the best place
Enjoyed the scenery. You can see Canada across the river
Very pretty decorated for the holidays. Although its very cold down there this time of year, especially with the wind coming off the water.
Very nice place to take a stroll the family. Look across the river at Canada
This is the new Detroit, the river walk is a great example of this great city. A place to enjoy with you kids and family or to come to walk in a date or just visit for a break and take pictures. Beautiful views!
I can see why this is the BEST Riverwalk in the Country
Detroit Transformed! Nice spot for a early morning/evening walk, jog, short strip biking and river side food.
Best place for photography in Detroit with a beautiful sky scrapers on the American side and views of Canada across the river. I would include it in tol 3 places to visit in Detroit.
Well theirs quite a story behind it butbwe went too the casino had a cpl drinks had afun night.... Then we walked all the wary down by the river it was so beautiful (so bright the colors where out that night) 😆
I love going to the river walk after the jass fest or just anytime I can. I really enjoy walking on the weird spiral thing because you will just be walking on it then all of a sudden your higher up then your at the top.Overall the river walk is a really fun place and you should go check it out.
Enjoyed my time at the RiverWalk and had pleasant views. Only wish the snack bar was opened at the time I visited in mid-November because it was cold and we wanted a hot drink.
Me and my son enjoy ourselves each time we visit. There are plenty of activities for children, scooters, bikes, and splash pad located at McDougal Park which is at the end of the river walk. They have added a bar and the drinks were great.
How Cool to see two different countries at one time! 😍🤩
Glad to see the development on the Detroit River as it ever expands to serve the walkers, runners, cyclists, tourists and all who want to see these beautiful spaces and vantage points. Enjoy some Detroit heritage as you gaze at the waterway on the US side over an international gateway to Windsor, Canada.This is a fantastic sight to take in early in the morning until late evening, sunrise sunset all year long. There may be few people her or many. The River Walk experience easily rivals Chicago, Cleveland, New York and many similar places waterfronts that I have seen around the country.
The Riverwalk is beautiful. If you havent been there yet, you have to go! Not everything is open during the week but its still a nice walk. The river is really clean, as is the park, and its wonderful to watch the ships and boats along with everybody else that is walking, running, and cycling.
Great place to take a walk and relax.
I really appreciate the Riverwalk. It’s one of the great views that you can get out of the Detroit River and Canada right here in the city. The riverfront is 5 1/2 miles long, it runs from the ambassador bridge west to just east of the Belle Isle Bridge At Gabriel Richard Park.
Perfect place to walk and exercise. The walkway is clean and odorless. From the Detroit side, you can see, not so far, the Canadian side.
Very beautiful!! Seeing Canada with the sunset is gorgeous!
Beautiful place to walk. Beautiful scenery
I enjoyed myself and being able to network others.
Very nice area! Clean, bikes for rent, and a cool carousel! Great view of Windsor across the water
Nice visit. Diamond Jack boat cruises on the hour and most affordable. Merry-go-round was running. Some bike rentals, scooters. Milliken Park fountain not working but great Park with trails.
A great area any time of the year for experiencing outdoors. Be sure the kids come with swim attiee to run through the fountain behind the Renaissance Center.
I LOVE GOING HERE, ESPECIALLY WITH THE CHILDREN. IT IS GREAT TO GO EARLY IN THE MORNING AND JUST RELAX.
It was truly beautifu & amazing on the river walk
Beautiful Riverwalk and family friendly attractions.
It was chilly (50°f) and rainy... but beautiful
Just nice to enjoy the outdoors in the beautiful downtown with loved ones
Great place to hang out and go for a walk with family
Much improved. Nice place to spend the day
First visit in over 15 years...was a great surprise and lots of fun. Great first date or day at the park vibe. Good & Drinks along with fantastic view.
Love it. Very peaceful
Beautiful place to yo walking and theres a playground for kids parking is a bit hard though
I love coming to the Riverwalk as many times as possible in the spring and summer. Its such a beautiful and scenic walk with the Detroit River, city skyline, trees and plants, clean walkways. Its very family friendly.. Push your young child in a stroller, ride bikes, walk and more. Youll see lots of people doing the same.
Awesome river walk !!
As always a lovely day out enjoying the great views of Canada.
Nice walk. Colorful. Diverse.
The view is beautiful. But the people... apparently no one was from the area including the police. A whole damn precinct stationed in the park didnt know where the public bathroom was!!! My family and I ended up finding the bathroom an hour later and the park closed soon after- which is weird. Why does a public park close at 10 PM? We got kicked out and I promised myself to never go back.
Very peaceful walk, I highly encourage!
Excellent place , lovely view while walking river side ,over looking Canada on the other bank
If you want to walk enjoying the Detroit river, you will be pleased visiting this wonderful place
Nice and safe but a little chilly at the time
I love walking early, its so peaceful, the DMC RIVER WALKERS MAKE IT NICE TOO!
Very nice place to go for a walk. Lots of people at certain areas, but great for people watching. Also good for a nice Summer walk and enjoying the breeze of the river while taking in views of Canada, the Ren-Cen, Detroit Princess, etc.
Enjoy people watching and riding my bike.
Nice view of Windsor Canada across Detroit River
Beautiful and clean, feels safe. Nice for people watching. Public parking lot has always had spots available, street parking too. People walk, bike, skateboard, etc. The water is pretty to look at. The carousel is very nice.
It is just a nice place to walk. Nothing is open, so you just have to enjoy the walk.
Great to walk, run, ride your bike or skate board. Take your children down to play and look at the river. You can enjoy and relax while watching various activities like people playing music, skate boarding and people just enjoying outdoors!
Where else can you walk along a river between two countries?
Great walk along the river. Great views of Canada
Great spot not to crowded
Awesome views, very relaxing 😎
Amazing view, if you are planning to go with kids grab their own bike, because there are not small ones for leasing, just adult ones. And walking on summer is really sunny.
Clean and safe. Patrolled by police consistently.
A great view and you can see Canada
One of the most scenic parts of the city. Wonderful place to bring the family.
Beautiful area, great scene walk along the water
Beautiful architecture. The view across the river is ok. The fresh air and river smells are great.
Nice place for evening walk.
Canada is right there! Lots of people having a good time, bumping tunes. Maybe smoking a bit of the legal herb. Beautiful.
Great view while bike riding
Great place to walk, run, and bike!
Nice walk. Clean. Security around all time so you feel safe. The issue is that there is maybe just one restaurant all around the walk which only open very occasionally. No coffee shops at all. The place is really great to have so many food places and cafés so always wondering why dont thay make it really an iconic area and tourist spot by just adding few more shops here and there especially given its outstanding location!
I rent a 2-hour bike ride from wheelhouse and I took advantage of point A to point Z after Riverwalk! Thanks city of Detroit for improving on my city & thank God. Keep up the good work
Its a nice outing either for a group or just a solo date. Theres an inexpensive boat ride off Atwater street. You can grab a snack or ride the carousel
Beautiful place to see the border of Canada and Windsor from the river walk.
I love the Riverwalk, I only wish that it was longer. I have always found it to be remarkably free of trash and debris. It is safe because there is a continuous traffic flow of friendly users, including cyclists, walkers, etc. I have read that plans are in place to extend it to Belle Isle. I can hardly wait for that to happen. Also, there a few cracks that could use some maintenance for cyclists, but not many.
This is a beautiful walk but could be so.much more. It looks like it will eventually have working water features. It needs to add some cute shops and eating places.
The riverfront is a beautiful sight Relaxing water looks blue looking across at very relaxing Canada
The Riverwalk is always awesome
Detroit riverealk is always enjoyable. We took the Diamond jack river tour while we were there. A very enjoyable cruise.
Really nice view, clean and well maintained
Great walking/jogging path near the GM Renaissance building. Parking is scarce, but the point is to walk...
Stopped by SmokeyG Smoke House, the guys were out back on the grill my order was fresh off the grill (thats what Im talking about)fries were hot 🔥yummm the large outdoor dining area was nice & clean as well as the bathroom again the crowd was diverse enjoyed myself Ill be back....
It rightly is one of the best riverfront walks in this side of US. Pristine blue river, great views of both Canada and Detroit. Its a long walk on both sides of the GM renaissance building.
Beautiful day for a walk and cruise on Diamond Jack tour boat
Enjoyed the view and the way the staff was making sure things were clean and picked up to keep it safe, sanitary and pretty ☺️ Missed the 😬😜but the aftermath was just as Good 👍😄
Did the diabetes walk along the river walk...& it was beautiful! Woow..have they improved down there!
Probably not the best idea to go in January. Still pretty.
Going to the riverwalk is one of my favorite places to go. I like riding the scooter it feels like Im not even in Detroit . its so beautiful and belle isle isnt far away. I really enjoy it cause I get out and love being in the fresh air. i recommend going down there and experiencing all the things you can do.
Its wonderful. A great place to walk, jog, ride bikes, scooters, listen to music, socialize, and clear your head. You will see a lot of people out in the water on boats and jet skis. All the way across the water you can see Canada. There are great areas to take photos with your family, friends, or yourself.
Awesome place to visit in summer or winter. They have security. They even have beach chairs that sit in front of the water so you can kick back and relax. They have free parking and restrooms. They have concession stands, you can rent bikes and scooters. They have a nice play area just for small children with swings and slides. They have fountains that you can stick your feet in to cool down on a hot day. Its a nice place to visit with family and friends.
Nice place to visit with family when the weather is good. Beautiful view of the river, you can see Canada on the other side. Theres also a nice view of Ambassador Bridge.Bunch of other activities are available including rides for kids, ferry ride etc. Or you can just walk towards Renaissance center, they have food options, seating and vehicles parked all over. You can take pictures with these if you want.You can also walk towards the other side on the river walk, opposite to renaissance center. Theres a nice lighthouse.Overall a nice, convenient place to visit. Parking is limited and it gets really crowded on weekends.
Very beautiful seeing the rennissance center up close, and also seeing Canada
It was truly beautiful! We walked the river until we were tired of walking and then ventured into town for a bite to eat. The only problem that we had was that every resteraunt and store required a mask. Being from our home state that did not require one we couldnt get into any place around. But you could still get a bite on the river out in the open. Id say to anyone in the area to take a moment to enjoy the Riverwalk..its too pretty to ignore!
Great place to walk,relax, eat and people watch. If you like to exercise you can jog,roller skate/blade an ride your bike. There are places to purchase food,drinks(adult drinks also.lol)an dessert 🍨.If you like to read there are plenty benches to sit on relax and put your troubles on water an let them drift away
Just loved my day with my husband
First nice day on the River in a minute 👌
Great place to walk. Parking is difficult to find but I was able to find street parking and walk to the River walk..There was a lot of people and everyone is enjoying themselves. Children at the water fountain, and just a lively community. Some people were jet skiing right but the walking area and people were talking to them. It was a fun time
Absolutely beautiful ❤️

2022-06-17Pretty cool river walk, the water was clear and blueish, the park well maintained for the most part. There were quite a few people jogging, theres a carousel, a cafe, plenty of seating along the walk... It was also pretty cool that you can see Canada right across the river.We visited 1st week of June. When we got there around 4pm it was very warm, within less than an hour the temperature dropped drastically. As soon as we left the area, it was very warm again.Definitely a must when visiting Detroit.

2022-03-04Beautiful place to walk. Doors on the bathroom stalls are kinda iffy..i had one that didnt lock. Gives you a beautiful view of the city of Detroit as well as a beautiful view of Canada across the river. People dont Detroit enough credit for how beautiful the city is because of the all violence that takes place outside the city. Also its very damn easy to almost end up on the bridge to Canada so you have to really be paying attention. There is a carousel on the river walk perfect for your little ones. Parking is not bad at all and is free so thats a plus! Usually security is there if that helps make you feel a bit more safe. Its very beautiful to walk.

2022-03-06Beautiful ! Across the water is Canada! You can see the bridge from here. There is a kids park and when open it looks like the is a concession stand with food and drinks. Nice place for a walk and pictures.

2021-08-28Visiting here from Jacksonville, Florida with my babe and just amazed at the beautiful weather, took a boat ride on the blue waters. Some site seeing around the Detroit, Michigan downtown. Highly recommended.

2021-11-04This is a highlight of Detroit. The scenery is refreshing. I love walking the Riverwalk. Family outing or date night or just getting your steps in this is the place

2022-06-22This is one of our favorite areas to come when we are in Detroit. It is beautiful by the water. There is a nice area to walk along there as well. A clean playground for the children. A carousel but it was not open. There was also an area you could buy food but it was not open. The restrooms were available with soap. We saw some nice birds in the marshy area thats there. Parking was free in the parking area.
