It is home to the Anna Scripps Whitcomb Conservatory (1904), the Detroit Yacht Club on an adjacent island, the Detroit Boat Club, James Scott Memorial Fountain, the Dossin Great Lakes Museum, a Coast Guard station, and a municipal golf facility. The city maintains a Nature Center where visitors are able to traverse wooded trails and view wildlife natural habitats. The island includes a half-mile (800 m) swimming beach. [1]
A very nice spot on Belle Isle is the Conservatory, the flowers and plants inside is beyond what you could imagine. They have one of the largest collections of orchids, and flowers/plants. There are benches inside. It is a very nice place to walk around and sit. There's also an aquarium, which is nice.
The Great Lakes Museum is also there for those interested in seeing boats
There is also a spot for MI wildlife. There are lots of reptiles, some deer, and a butterfly garden.
