Yes, that's Piety Island. It's really a hill that's still above water after they built the Detroit Dam. Back in the early 80's a few friends and I made it a regular place to camp. Stores in the town of Detroit would sell beer to anyone back then, but the park rangers would fine you and take your beer in the parks. So we'd buy the beer and row our inflatable rafts out to the island. It's a good plan to drink the beer after rowing out to the island or so I've been told.


So US?
