Tri-Centennial State Park

As the first urban park in Michigan, the 31 acres carved out on the banks of the Detroit River are a green oasis in the midst of Michigan's largest city. Tri-Centennial State Park and Harbor offers several covered picnic areas, shoreline fishing and a newly renovated 52-slip harbor. Walkers, anglers, boaters and city dwellers looking for a taste of Michigan's bountiful natural features will find them on the green, grassy knolls and the rocking of the river waves. The 63-foot light tower marks the harbor entrance. It is a scaled-down replica of the recently-renovated lighthouse at Tawas Point State Park, originally built in 1876.
