More information on Belle Isle
Few cities have anything this splendid: an island park of nearly 1,000 acres. Accessible by a vehicle bridge only ten minutes' drive from downtown, Belle Isle has been Detroiters' favorite place of refuge and recreation for 150 years or more. It's a great spot to watch the magnificent ore freighters gliding down the river. Around the island, there are two yacht clubs, a swimming beach, a children's zoo an aquarium, a conservatory, formal gardens, ball fields, handball courts, tennis courts, an old lighthouse, the Dossin Great Lakes Museum, a senior center, lagoons, a woods with white-tailed deer, a golf course and many picnic areas. The Scott Fountain with its grotesque gargoyles provides a great evening light show. A drive around the island any time of year is a great break for a busy day.
