Detroit Riverwalk

Water, skyline views, and room to move: one of Detroit’s best settings for an unhurried walk.

01 / The story of this place

Make time for these

The Detroit Riverwalk reconnects the city with the Detroit River through promenades, parks, and places to pause. Windsor and Canada form the opposite shoreline. The RenCen area, Milliken State Park, and the eastern riverfront provide different settings along the water. This is a route rather than a single building: choose a manageable section and leave time for the views.
