    About the Detroit Riverfront Conservancy:

    The Detroit Riverfront Conservancy is a non-profit organization that was founded in 2003 with the mission of bringing public access to Detroit’s Riverfront. Today, more than three miles of the east Riverfront is complete and open to the public.

    The Conservancy envisions the transformation of Detroit’s International Riverfront – the face of Detroit – into a beautiful, exciting, safe, accessible, world-class gathering place for all.

    The overarching goal remains in place: to develop a total of 5 ½ miles of Riverfront, from the Ambassador Bridge to Gabriel Richard Park, just east of the Belle Isle Bridge connected by Riverwalk, plazas, pavilions, parks, harbors and green spaces.

    The Conservancy is responsible for the construction, improvement, operation, maintenance, security, programming and expansion of the Detroit Riverwalk and associated green spaces, including the Dequindre Cut.
