- Riverwalk: <\/strong>If you haven\u2019t been to the Riverwalk recently you have no idea what you\u2019re missing. Start near Joe Louis on the west end and stroll your way past fountains, volleyball courts, picnic areas, carousels, and concession stands as you make your way east. Continue through the wildlife path and past Cheyne Park to find your reward at the end of the journey; Joseph Campau Street with places like Andrews on the Corner, Atwater Brewing, and the Rattlesnake Club providing food and refreshments to help you eat and drink those foot aches away.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

- Belle Isle Beach: <\/strong>Really the entire island is a trove of summer activities but for a person of summertime leisure, the beach is where it\u2019s at. First off, yes of course you can swim there, the water\u2019s great and there\u2019s plenty of prime sand to fit you and all of your friends. Located along the northern coast of Belle Isle, this place comes alive in the summer with the smell of grills going and the jams cascading into the air from cars rolling down the road. Essentially this is the living embodiment of the \u201cSummertime\u201d by the one and only Fresh Prince, only in this version you\u2019ve got a sick view of the entire Detroit skyline to boot.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

- Dequindre Cut: <\/strong>The recently expanded and now nearly 2 mile greenway is a convergence of arts, activity, and pure Detroit scenery. Start from the amazing Outdoor Adventure Center on Atwater Street that serves as the starting point for the cut but should really be saved for its own separate experience. Aside from those on foot a veritable what\u2019s what of transportation devices can be seen moving through the cut. Bikes, skateboards, unicycles, strollers, or my personal favorite rollerblades. Follow the path north until you hit Eastern Market, where you can branch off and get to exploring all of the sights, sounds, and shops the market has to offer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\u00a0<\/strong>So once you\u2019ve scratched those places off your list.. go again, and again. Yet we\u2019re just scratching the surface of summertime adventure in the D, so stay tuned for more spots and suggestions..<\/p>\n
