Did you know Detroit’s Jefferson Chalmers neighborhood is home to historic canals? 🛶☀️🌃 

Explore the beauty of the area with one of Detroit’s hidden gem summer activities: guided kayak tours led by detroitriversports. 

Founded in 2013, Detroit River Sports works to connect people with our city’s most beautiful natural asset- the water. From May through October, they host public tours weekly, as well as private tours and lessons for all skill level.

In addition to the canal tours, they also offer tours exploring Belle Isle, Canada’s Peche Island, as well as night tours during the full moon and during the transition to fall! 🌳

Detroit Riversports is also home to coriander_det, Detroit’s only canal-side restaurant. Located in a former marina, their patio sits right on the water. ⛱️

Check below for more information and a breakdown of the different kayak tours you can check out! 

📍Location: Detroit River Sports is based at Fishermen’s Marina, 14601 Riverside Boulevard

🚗 Parking: Available on both sides of the street, in their lot, and at Riverfront-Lakewood East Park

🛶 Historic Canal Tours: Their most popular option, this quiet paddle explores Detroit’s historic canal district, including landmarks like the Fisher Mansion and Harbor Island.

🌅 Sunset Canal Tour: A golden-hour version of the canal tour, timed perfectly for evening light.

🏝️ Peche Isle Paddle: Paddle across international waters to the Canadian-owned Peche Island. No passport required as there’s no stop on the island itself.

🌕 Full Moon Tour: Kayak under the full moon with boats lit up in colorful string lights.
