HELP RESTORE THE BOAT HOUSE!
The Detroit Boat Club Crew was founded in 1839, which makes us the oldest rowing club in North America! The current building was completed in 1902. After years of neglect by the City of Detroit under the former administrations and lack of funding, the Boat Club fell under disrepair. Since Belle Isle is now under the State Park, the crew club is working hard to raise money and volunteer time to help bring this Detroit Gem back to its glory. We hope you will join us in the effort!
The Detroit Boat Club Boat House on Belle Isle is located at E Picnic Way, Detroit, MI 48207.
Note: It is displayed as “Detroit Boat Club Training Facility” on Google maps.
