Belle Isle's Lake Muskoday is by far one of my favorite views in all of Michigan. After strolling around the lake for a few minutes you would hardly believe that you’re in the biggest city in the state, and the only reminder of that is the skyline rising over the horizon on the far end of the murky lake. In the summer, stunning sunsets backdrop the Renaissance Center, One Detroit Center, and Penobscot Building. In the spring, flowers are planted across the banks of the lake, which is very beautiful. In the winter you can venture out onto the ice to get even closer to the skyline, which feels much further away than the 4 miles it actually is. Always be careful if you choose to go out onto the ice, as I fell through in the winter of 2015 and it wasn’t very fun at all.
