Before theme parks and expressways, there was the boat ride.
For generations of Detroit families, Boblo wasn't just an amusement park—it was a summer tradition. The trip began at the foot of Woodward, where thousands boarded the boats and headed down the Detroit River toward a day that many still remember decades later.
The sound of the engines, the wind off the river, the skyline fading behind you, and the excitement of finally reaching the island became part of growing up in Detroit.
This design pays tribute to one of the city's most unforgettable experiences and the people who made those memories.
