The Detroit Riverwalk in downtown Detroit, Michigan is an easy 0.4-mile one-way walk that features views of Detroit, the Detroit River, and Windsor, Ontario.

Walk Description
While not a hike, this nice stroll along the Detroit River is well-worth checking out if visiting downtown Detroit. This walk begins just west of Hart Plaza and ends near Renaissance Drive. Along the trail, walkers will find ferry and cruise boats, boarder patrol boats in the Detroit River, and a lively atmosphere as this is a popular spot to hang out or take a walk. Across the Detroit River is the city of Windsor, Ontario, which provides another city landscape that sits on the banks of the river.

Parking
Walkers will find parking garages for the near the trailhead and parking coordinates provided; however, this is a very popular walk-in trail if you've parked further away. Please do your parking research before showing up to plan accordingly.

Pets
Dogs are allowed if leashed and their waste must be carried out by the hiker.

Before you leave...

MyHikes is an indie web platform aimed to make exploring public trails easier for everyone. The site has no investors and is owned and operated by one person, Dave Miller / Admin. As the main contributor and doer-of-all-things for MyHikes, I share my experiences from hikes and backpacking trips on MyHikes for fun on a volunteer basis and I believe that public trail information should be available to everyone.

It takes a lot of time 🕦, money 💰, and effort (including espresso shots ☕) to run MyHikes, including hiking , mapping , writing , and publishing new trails with high-quality content... along with building new features, moderating, and site maintainance . I simply ask that if you find our content helpful or useful when planning your next adventure that you consider making a small donation to help keep the site running.

You can become a Supporter* (*MyHikes user account required) to unlock perks for as little as $0.83/month with a 1-time non-recurring payment 👍 Or you can simply Donate any amount without a MyHikes user account. Otherwise, telling your friends about MyHikes is the next-best thing to a donation - both quick and free 😄

Thanks for visiting MyHikes and have a great hike! ✌
