Michigan Riverwalk Nominated as Best in the Country aren't hating on the city. Mlive.com recently reported that, according to USA Today, the Detroit Riverwalk is currently listed as one of the best in the country. I say currently because the voting is still ongoing. According to the Detroit Riverfront website, the Riverwalk attracts about 3 million people each year. Of course, with 2020 being as unusual as it was, you would assume that attendance would be down. But, in fact, attendance increased by 20% since March of last year. And it's not hard to see why. Even just a quick Google Maps search shows off the beautiful views offered on this river front.
