Rotary Park

Rotary Park in Trenton offers public boat launch access to the Detroit River via Harrison Avenue. This ramp provides a convenient put-in point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats looking to explore the lower Detroit River. The site is situated near the Detroit River International Wildlife Refuge, North America's only international wildlife refuge, making it an excellent starting point for paddlers interested in viewing diverse waterfowl and wildlife along this important waterway.

The Detroit River is a major Great Lakes connecting channel with moderate current and busy commercial and recreational traffic. Paddlers should be prepared for boat traffic, especially larger freighter vessels, and exercise appropriate caution. The river's character varies depending on location, but generally offers calmer paddling opportunities compared to open lake conditions. For specific details about current conditions, parking facilities, launch fees, and any seasonal restrictions, contact local Trenton parks or the Michigan Department of Natural Resources.
