  Detroit River and Skyline
by Stephen-KarenConn
 
 

Favorite thing: One of the best things about visiting Windsor is the fabulous view of the Detroit River and the Detroit, Michigan skyline, dominated by the International Headquarters of General Motors. This beautiful river joins Lake Huron (via Lake St. Clair), and Lake Erie. It also divides (come say connects) the Motor Cities of Canada and the USA. Detroit/Windsor is the largest metropolitan area on any international border in the world.

The Detroit River offers opportunities for boating, fishing, and swimming. It is also the an important corridor for freighter traffic, and the source of water for the cities along its banks.

Fondest memory: We especially enjoyed strolling for more than an hour along the riverfront with the gang of new friends we met at the Windsor VT meeting. The river is a beautiful shade of blue, especially when the sun shines on it.

Review Helpfulness: 3.5 out of 5 stars
