This Michigan Riverwalk Has Been the Named the Best in America
For the third year in a row, one famed Michigan riverwalk has been named the best riverfront in America by USA Today. This proves, once again, that Michigan is a beautiful state.
In the just-released best-of list, USA Today writes, “Cities across the United States have transformed their riverfront areas into multi-use spaces for recreational purposes, cultural activities, dining and nightlife. And residents and visitors alike could easily spend an entire day hanging out at these riverwalks, which offer so many things to see and do. To find the best of these waterfront spots, a panel of experts provided nominations, then readers voted for their favorites.”
Coming in at No. 1, for the third year in a row, is the Detroit International RiverWalk. Of the riverwalk, USA Today states, “The riverfront redevelopment in Detroit, a city with 14 miles of shoreline along the Detroit River, is one of the city’s most exciting initiatives. The east riverfront of the Detroit International RiverWalk stretches from Joe Louis Arena to Gabriel Richard Park and includes several parks, restaurants, splash parks and natural areas.”
“We are thrilled to be named America’s Best Riverwalk once again,” Matt Cullen, chairman of the Detroit Riverfront Conservancy, said in a statement. “The transformation of our riverfront over these past two decades has been tremendous. To go from a blighted and underused riverfront to one that is recognized as the best in the country three years in a row is a testament to how much people love the riverfront and to what our community can achieve when we all work together.” Find the full list here.
