This place is absolutely beautiful. Totally feels like youre in a different country with the view of Detroit and Windsor at the same time and looking over the river into both. Highly recommend coming over here during sunset and just hanging out with a blanket.
Saw many beautiful sunsets at this spot i will be visiting there again soon.
Best view of the sunset in Detroit! Worth going at all times of the year and setting up (or parking in the winter) in different areas along the point. Each spot gives a slightly different perspective of the city and with the sun never setting at the same spot you’re always seeing something new.
A great view of the Detroit skyline and river. A nice place to watch river traffic and relax. The parking and restrooms make this a great place to start any visit to Belle Isle. The Scott Fountain is a short walk away and beautiful from this angle thanks to the reflecting pool and the cascade from the fountain down to the pool.
Brother Armstrong is so right what a wonderful world! Im so lucky and truly full of blessed joy to witness and see the sunrise and the glorious closing of another beautiful day. Im happily walking each and every step in gratitude!
Beautiful place to stop and see a scenic view.
Ok, maybe this is the best part of belle isle!
A great place on the small island, You are just few meters far from Canada, stunning views of Downtown Detroit and Windsor, Canada. A perfect place for Photography. This place is not properly managed these days. We can see lots of trace all around this park. Restroom are closed and dirt everywhere outside of the building. Vending machine are not working and empty. Enough parking spot and awesome atmosphere. Nice place to visit. Good for everyone
A very spiritual, holy place.
Came for a wedding, unfortunately it wasnt pleasant weather ... It was an outdoor wedding and the restrooms were closed where it was ... We went to the Aquarium after for reception. ... my first time here ... I would like to come back on a pretty day ... Aquarium was nice ... pretty tile on the ceiling ....
Whenever you come to Belle Isle, this is a MUST SEE! You can miss the aquarium or the conservatory, but you can’t miss the skyline of Detroit and Windsor! It will give some great photos
Beautiful place to spend some quality quite time and soak in the Detroits skyline from distance. On the left side you can see Canada and on the right side you can see GM RenCen standing tall and mighty. Gives you a deep sense of nature midst of the busy concrete jungle and offers peace and quiet of a place far away from the metro cities. Traffic on the Belle Isle is very less, and you can find plenty of parking spaces to park your car. Also available at sunset point are a lot of benches and grills to have a quality picnic with your friends and family. Sunset point is fairly clean but keeping geese off is a big issue at this island. They tend to leave their mark all over the place. You will also find a great aquarium and a soccer club nearby. The Casino on the island is also worth checking out. The casino building has a beautiful façade and you can spend hours just marveling the beautiful architecture. The island also has a few play areas for kids all over the place. One place I wish they would have setup the kids play area should have been the sunset point.
What a nice place for experiencing both the United States and Canada, with an awesome view of Detroit. Pack a picnic lunch and go and unwind here.
Awesome spot for relaxing and reflecting.
Should be called trash island. Yall need to clean up this beautiful place!!!! So much potential
I mean if you want to sit on a bench and stare at the water this is a great place. Cost nothing to drive out to and no parking fee but other than sitting and staring theres absolutely nothing to do. They did have somewhat clean bathrooms though.
Really cool spot to get a good view of Detroit. Coming at sunset also is pretty neat.
Sunset points offers some of the best views of the Detroit and Windsor skyline to be found.
Beautiful veiws
Great spot to just chill and relax and amazing views of downtown Detroit, Windsor, and the river
Great place to relax.
Beauty in this word m.pmlm
Enjoyed our lil outing!!! Perfect spot close to the water and picturific view!!️️
Nice place for watching both sides: USA and Canada. I wast lucky enough for watching in sunny weather so it was foggy. A lot of benches near sunset point let you choose your side)
Ever since the state took over Belle Isle it is so nice now. Clean, safe, just a nice place to go. Sunset Point is awesome for taking pictures as well as any place on the island.
Its a beautiful place to go on weekends, take a walk alongside of the water & watch a mesmerizing sunset.Detroit Skyline in background & sky looks colourful with it.. !Park your car & enjoy cool breeze coming from water see the small waves crashing in to the land, Awesome View Perfect for taking timelaps & photographyMust see place on Bele Iceland..!!
This place is majestic! I at first thought this adventurewould be a waste of time but it turned out I enjoyed myself thoroughly! There was a very calming feel about the end of the peninsula and overlooking the water. I saw my first black squirrel which was quite strange to see at first being from Dallas
Such a beautiful view.
Beautiful site to visit
Great park went to visit family from Vancouver. Close to Downtown Detroit. If you go early usually its not busy beautiful views around. Great place to visit.
Great place to get some Sunshine but the restrooms are still locked for the season and Belle isle has not begun its Spring Cleaning being as though the weather is just starting to break.
Nice and cool on a hot day.
Serene. Quiet. There’s a distance of calmness. An uprising. The resurrection of an Egyptian empire. A Phoenix has risen, flames roaring with opportunity BLAZING the streets. There’s a heart beat, THUD {Gratiot}, THUD {woodward}, THUD {Grandriver}, THUD {Michigan}, blood extends through the main arteries...which there is life in the heart that extends life through the body. We are alive and growing. Sleeping giant. Detroit Land RUSH! The gold rush is only as the eyes see fit!! Beautiful peace. Life CREATES!
Gorgeous spot to relax
Best view of Canada & United States and Ambassador Bridge with ships coming and going up and down the river
I truly believe I found the most romantic spot in Michigan what a wonderful way to spend my birthday
Great place for some fun in the sun... water surely feels good on a hot day like today...
Beautiful park, gorgeous views!
Im sure this is a great place to see a sunset. It was a bit cloudy when I visited though
Ive made memories here at every point in my life, from the lows to the highs this place will be a part of meAlso the best view of Detroit and whatever that place is across the bridge
Only problem is the immeasurable amount of bird feces
Sunset Point on Belle Isle is a destination must see for anyone that lives in or near Detroit, or is visiting for the 1st or 100th time. Even on bad weather days the view is awesome. On good weather days its awesomer. Picture this. The country of Canada on the left. The Detroit skyline on the right. A large body of water in the middle connected by the historical Ambassador Bridge on the horizon. Its awesome!
Beautiful peaceful place
Beautiful evening with friends and family
Encouraged Encouragement; this spot will stop your frenzy, calm your mind within your amazement at the beautiful view from this special point on Belle Isle.
Awesome view of the city, great place to see the sunset
A good place to go to see the sunset. Beautiful views of Detroit.
No matter how you put it you can change the name but it will remain the same Belle Isle is the name where all the good memories were accumulated there in the 80s and the 90s man Im telling you when I was younger I enjoyed going to the zoo there the small exhibits there having picnics with my family I even win under the bridge the tunnel I remember all that the island was the place to be now here in the 2000s Different Strokes definitely different folks changing the name and not giving it is Old Glory back is so many interesting things that went on there and now its just the memory I wrote through the island twice this year the scenery still beautiful will little animals they do have the zoo still sits vacant but I can still honestly say if you want a piece of mind and catch a breeze thats the place to be always and forever will be Belle Isle
I love Belle Isle, its a gorgeous park, designed by the same people that designed Central Park in New York. This has been a favorite spot for Detroiters for decades. A beach, picnic facilities, golf, nature center, fountains, conservatory full of flowers, canoeing, deer, so much more! Great place!!!
It is a connection point between US and Canada. Island is awesome. You can see both US and Canada very clearly.
Nice place to go and view the scene, very relaxing
This is the perfect spot when you want to watch the sunset over the best view of downtown Detroit
Beautiful for wedding photography
Had a wedding here. Great back drop for the venue! With Windsor and Detroit in the background, many pictures were taken. Had a serene calming effect.
It was beautiful
Great view of the Detroit River. Plenty of families enjoying themselves. Beautiful place to visit.
Have access to tables,chairs,benches,and an awesome view of the Dertoit Rivet.
Beautiful! I’m excited to come in the summer.
Love this place
Watched the sunset with my lovely bride. Life is good!
Out of all the years of going to belle isle never imagined that this little corner called Sunset Point existed ..I was there visiting along with Crime Stoppers and others remembering some of the people we have lost in Detroit and throwing roses out on the river..what a wonderful little area..
Great when the weather is nice
Nice plaace!
One of my most favorite places to visit!!Just sit on the edge of the island watching the beautiful sunset!!!Nice photography points as well!
My favorite location in the island to watch the sunset with an amazing view Detroit downtown. Since the State of Michigan took over the island, its cleaner and family friendly. There is also BBQ area at this side of the island.
Did Yoga here!!
If gives you peace and relaxation with your family.
The photo says it all!
Great place to relax and watch the Detroit skyline along with people and Belle Isles natural beauty!
Love taking pictures of downtown from this park
Belle island is a very nice place to go and even better now with the level of security. Crime used to be high here not any more .
Definitely one of the best views of Detroit while still in the U.S. (Windsor has the best view). Well worth biking or driving over to this spot on a nice day. Good amount of parking spots as well, and plenty of grass to bring chairs and hang out.
Beautiful place
Beautiful. Im bias though, this is where my son got married.
I loved Belle isle
An amazing experience.
It is the best
Great city and sunset views.if only they mowed the lawn and kept the bugs away !
Had a very special moment at this spot. Beautiful view love it!
The most magical place in the city! Spent with a wonderful person.
My best friend proposed here. She said no. Great ducks
I had a beautiful time sitting by the water today.
Very nice place and a beautiful one to enjoy during summer
A scenic oasis.
Pretty nice view on DT Detroit. Place is a little messy
Beautiful out there!
LOVE TAKING THE FAMILY HERE :):)

Beautiful place between USA and Canada! :)
