We stumbled upon River Raisin National Battlefield Park when we were in the area to see Lake Erie. I knew nothing about the park when we went which added to my curiosity. It turns out this was the site of a major War of 1812 battle. The main museum building was closed, but a gentleman in period garb was stationed in a tent by the road. He gave us a detailed run down of the battle and events. We learned a tremendous amount about the local area during our time there. We walked along a portion of the battlefield path where a number of boards tell the story of the battle. It very hot, but it was an enjoyable stroll. I highly recommend stopping by River Raisin NBP as it was highly informative and a great place to visit!

Stopped for an overnight stay and wished we would have stayed all week! Close to the lake with great views. Camp sites are level and even though it was at full capacity, people were distant and it was quiet. In the midst of a pandemic, we felt safe and protected the entire time. Wonderful visit!!

This is a nice park that is rarely crowded or over used. All you have to do is park on the street and walk across to the park. If you wish your could go fishing in the river or just play in the water. There are kids exercise "toys" to keep them busy. Just sit on a bench and let the day go by!!
