William G. Milliken State Park and Harbor

As the main urban stop in Michigan, William G. Milliken State Park and Harbor gives a 31-section of land green desert garden amidst downtown Detroit.The primary period of the recreation center - the harbor - opened to general society in 2004 and offers a few secured cookout territories, shoreline angling and a 52-slip harbor. A 63-foot light pinnacle that is a downsized imitation of the Tawas Point beacon denotes the harbor entrance.The second period of the recreation center opened on December 1, 2009 and incorporates a wetlands exhibit territory that shows how wetlands go about as nature's water filtration framework. Interpretative signs clarify how the wetland normally cleans the water and after that profits it to the Detroit River as spotless water - without setting off to a wastewater treatment plant.
