Description
View of canoeists paddling canoes on Belle Isle canal near arched stone bridge; pedestrians walk on paths in background. Printed on front: "Bridge, Belle Isle, Detroit, Mich." Printed on back: "Bridge, Belle Isle. Canoeing is the leading sport at Belle Isle, Detroit's leading playground. Its 702 acres are threaded with many miles of canals and lakes, affording an ideal spot in which the light little craft cruise about by thousands. Band concerts are given at the city's expense during the summer afternoons and evenings, and on such occasions the canoeists are present in great numbers."
