About Lake Erie Metropark
Just a short drive from the city, behold three miles of captivating Lake Erie shoreline and sweeping vistas that you can only get with a Great Lake and great river at 1,607-acre Lake Erie Metropark. Follow the path of lake freighters moving up and down along the Detroit River against exceptional views of Sugar Island, Grosse Ile, and Celeron Island. Scan the sky of this popular bird-watching site, with more than 300 species recorded, and you just might spot a migrating broad-wing hawk or a bald eagle flying above. This designated “Important Bird Area” is one of the premier hawk-watching sites in North America. Experience the splendor of this Southeastern Michigan lakeshore treasure and make some of your best memories today.
