    Belle Isle is one of the most unique parks in the world. The 5.2-mile-long, 985-acre park was designed before the turn of the 20th century by renowned landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted.

    The island sits in the middle of the Detroit River on the U.S.-Canada border and is crisscrossed by a series of canals and roads. Belle Isle features a large, natural wooded area that is the home of a wide variety of small animals and birds.
