The Strand, Belle Isle

Strand Dr. winds around Belle Isle on the side of the Island closest to Canada. From here, Canada looks so beautiful and so close- only about 100 meters away. On this side of the island, there are some interesting buildings, most of which are now closed. There is a giant, amazing fountain near where the road begins at Sunset Dr. As you follow this road, you pass by ponds, a small play ground, a few wooded areas and a beautiful, large plant conservatory with a glass dome. Belle Isle and Detroit were once beautiful and you can see that as you drive along Strand.
