Riverside Marina

Nothing beats a drive along Riverside Drive in the city of Windsor. It probably is the best attribute that Windsor has.
Starting from the bridge you drive East… past the Sculptural Gardens on the north side. Soon you’ll hit Dieppe Park in the downtown core. Continuing along you’ll pass by Caesars Casino and its thunderous waterfall. On the north side is an amazing vista of the Detroit skyline. Up next is Seagrams Distillery (which was once home to Canadian Club) a collection of heritage buildings that have been lovingly preserved. On the weekends you may spot brides/​grooms having their pictures taken amongst the gardens). Once past this you’ll hit a small area of no-​mans land… a few blocks of really dreadful nothingness… then you hit an area of expensive homes. I think it’s every Windsorites dream to have a home on the Drive… especially ones on the north side, with backyards on the river. Along the way, you’ll pass by small parkettes that offer views of Belle Isle… finally coming to Pillette Garden, with the awesome Peace Fountain (a floating fountain actually in the river. With its dancing plumes and colourful light show, it really is the jewel on the drive). Continuing on, you’ll hit more gorgeous homes and awe at how the other side lives. When you hit Lauzon, you can either continue on (I recommend you do) and you’ll pass by a marina and a park with a sandy beach. I remember when I was younger when Canada allowed females to sunbathe topless. this beach was at the centre of controversy as those bold enough to do so, offed their tops to go naked. The line up of cars filled with gawkers from both sides of the border caused traffic nightmares… until finally the phase passed.
You can end your trip at either Lesperance or all the way over to Manning… turn around and do the drive back.
Whenever I visit Windsor I always do this drive… from Tecumseh all the way to the bridge. It truly is spectacular.
