Butterfly Gardens AND Labyrinth

Two beautifully designed maps at Rivard Plaza highlight the importance of the Detroit River within the international waterways. An inlaid granite map highlights the 32-mile long Detroit River and its surrounding communities, and a standing sculptured glass map shows the entire St. Lawrence Seaway route.

At Gabriel Richard Park, visitors can stroll along paths through flower gardens that attract butterflies or take a winding tour of an inlaid brick labyrinth.

FISHING OUTLOOKS The Detroit Riverfront is known for its great fishing and offers locations for those wanting to cast a line out in the water, including William G. Milliken State Park and Harbor and Mt. Elliott Park.

Cullen Family Carousel The carousel, located at Rivard Plaza, was handcrafted and specially designed for Detroit. It features creatures native to the Detroit River, along with the mythical River Mermaid and River Monster.
