What an absolute delight! A new lighthouse constructed in 2004 & built to resemble Michigans lovely Tawas Point Light! I came up from Ohio to visit the park on a Tuesday afternoon, & was not disappointed in the slightest! Such a beautiful spot on the river!

Nice place in the city to relax and hang out. Walking along the river front is awesome. Lots of people and activities. Great for families. Looks like a perfect location for fishing also. Lots of people fishing and I was told they catch crabs and crawfish as well.

We have stayed here several times. A quiet, gated marina with immediate access to the Detroit riverwalk. We felt very safe staying here. Bathrooms are clean and have showers but very rustic, just poured cement.

Great view of Windsor and the water. Paved and well lit with benches, trash cans, and emergency phone. Nice for walking/biking/jogging. Park closes at 10p and is strictly enforced. Could use some porta potties near.

Beautiful little lighthouse along the Detroit Riverwalk. Saw people fishing along the edge of the platform. Nearby marina is very pretty as well with lots of little colorful boats. Very easy to access by walking/biking along the paved river path.

First time at Milliken Marina in June 2017. Overall great location with restaurants and bars within walking distance. Was sorry to hear no ice was available at the marina because the supplier opted to not renew the contract, had to walk 2 miles for ice. Will go back to Milliken, its great to be at the boat with downtown Detroit and the Ren Cen within eye sight.
