Description
View of rustic wooden bridge over canal on Belle Isle; banks of canal are lined with trees. Man rows boat near bridge; man and woman in canoe in foreground. Printed on front: "Rustic bridge, Belle Isle, Detroit, Mich." Printed on back: 19329, Rustic 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."
