The Detroit River International Wildlife Refuge Gateway 
The Detroit River International Wildlife Refuge is the only international wildlife refuge in North America.  The Refuge Gateway, being planned, is adjacent to Humbug Marsh, the last mile of nautical shoreline along the U.S. side of the Detroit River and a vital zone for bird migration and wildlife habitat.  It will include a canoe/kayak landing and visitor/education center demonstrating advanced techniques for stormwater management, energy consumption, and sustainability as well as orientation and comfort amenities when exploring Humbug Marsh.

Existing Conditions: A high, steep bank prohibits safe access.

Recommendations: Provide vehicular access and a soft shore launch in conjunction with natural shoreline restoration.  These improvements, along with restrooms and canoe/kayak rentals, are to be provided as part of the Refuge Gateway development.
