You will find the William G. Milliken State Park and Harbor located along the Detroit International Riverfront, east of downtown Detroit. Although this is a rather small state park, covering just 31 acres, it is absolutely deserving of a place on your to-do list. The most obvious attraction of the park is the views it offers of the city and of the Canadian skyline across the Detroit River. You can go walking/jogging or biking along the paved trail along the river edge or spend some time sitting on a bench and watching the passing parade. In addition, nature lovers will enjoy the wetland area which is full of birds and is home to beavers and other small creatures. There is a boat launch and picnic shelters.
