About William G. Milliken State Park and Harbor

Named for a former Michigan governor, this 31-acre riverfront park sits along the Detroit River on a stretch of the city's International Riverfront. It protects wetlands alongside paved trails and includes a 52-slip harbor of refuge. A 63-foot conical brick lighthouse tower stands at the harbor entrance, built as a scaled-down replica of the Tawas Point Light.

Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
