Read moreExcellent area for viewing Lake St Clair. The park is located right at opening of the Clinton River. It's a spectacular site. Not only for watching the boats go by but also just to take in some sunshine and bird watching, fishing, or launching your watercraft. Has a small trail to walk.

The area is a great place to chill and just be by the water and take it all in. Well be posting more pics as they become available
It's pass free park with plenty of parking, truck and watercraft trailer parking. Handicap parking. No restrooms though.
Great place for a picnic by...

But the fishing, the lakeviews, and the skywatching here are wonderful! And a short trip for anyone living in the...
