Palmer Park and Boardwalk

Came here in September of 2023. Really nice area. Clean and pretty. Quite a few people bring chairs and just sit. We enjoyed watching a few big boats go by, and some of the people fishing off of the boardwalk. There are benches and a couple of tables. Good internet also which was nice since we needed to sit and do some work.

A must do at least 2 times a year.
Love strolling down the very long boardwalk along this beautiful river. Everything here is pristine and gorgeous. Fantastic way to spend a few hours walking, jogging, picnicking, dog walking and people watching. Feels like a wonderful, safe way to spend some time outdoors.
If you love flowers, this place is so nice to view the beautiful garden area. The St Clair River isn't the only lovely sight to see here, however, it can't be overlooked. Its true-blue color seems to flow like its waters. This is a powerful river and it is something to see in person. Love that I can park for free and enjoy the beauty of nature along one mighty river and its beautiful park.

A peaceful place and so serene.
Lots of people relax here and watch the boats go by you never know what you'll see.
Open year round 24 hours 7.
Can be relaxing watching the freighters go by or even a paddle board.
Also special events ,like offshore boat races and fireworks

Beautiful park! Never saw a band (Spin Doctors) on a barge before! Genius!!! Great place to watch freighters! The Riverfest was happening went I went, nice!

Absolutely love it here. Freighter watching. Park is very nice and clean. Beautiful

Sweet place to walk around and few freighters up close

Absolutely a beautiful place for all. Extremely clean. Residents very friendly. Convienant and relaxing.

Super chill place fir a boatnerd to catch a view.

Great place to just chill or even wind down after work. Nothing overly exciting, just the occasional passing of a Great Lakes freighter and a cool breeze coming off the river. Just make sure you've got a blanket or folding chair in your trunk and you're golden.

Beautiful park with great views. Very clean and inviting. Spend the afternoon here on a blanket or bring a couple of chairs and enjoy the water.

Great park for boat and ship watching

Great little spot. You can fish here all night long

Ridiculously clean park. The water views are beautiful. Friendly people and nearby dining. Makes for a relaxing date afternoon.

A wonderful place to relax, enjoy the river, and occasionally some tunes.

I grew up in St. Clair and moved away after high school. I still try to return as often as I can, especially for the 4th of July fireworks. I love to see how things have changed over the years and the park and board walk is always a nice place to relax and watch the ships pass

Beautiful place. So peaceful & relaxing

Beautiful riverside boardwalk! Perfect for a nice walk or jog along the riverside. Also a very popular spot for walleye fishing. Highly recommend if you are in town.

Love this area. Quaint park for taking a nice stroll along the boardwalk or sit and watch the boats go by.

Lovely park with a view of Canada to boot.

The park and boardwalk were great. The park was well manicured with lots of flowers and places to sit to watch the water and boats, If you walk down the channel that feeds that river there are some places that you can grill with picnic tables. There are several restaurants in the area and a couple right on the water.
