President Bill Clinton signed a executive order (EO 13061)on September 11,1997 naming 14 rivers as American Heritage Rivers which supported community led efforts relating revitalization, protection of natural resources and the environment and to preserve historic and cultural heritage. The funding, 500 Billion Dollars was to be allocated from various federal agencies. The Detroit River in Michigan was one of the rivers named.
They are in the process of building that Second Bridge to Windsor South of the Ambassador.
I am eagerly waiting to get down there and check it out and to do some Serious Walleye Fishing but the weather around here the last two weeks have been nasty.
More Democrat money laundering.

Some of the very best Walleye fishing in the area is where Lake St Clair empties into the Detroit river on the Canadian side.
The best is by the power plant outflow between Grosse Ile and Trenton!

I didn’t know the second bridge was approved. Thought Matty Maroun was still holding it up.
Snagfest....I only go there if I have too. Mid River is where I like to hang out....Steel Mill, two rocks, salt mines, fighting Island, cow pasture and whiskey mill.
And of course If your going up stream you have to do the cobo hall/ Joe drift.
#6 Nope. he got rolled... :) And Canada is paying for it.(at least that is the story we are told)

AKA The Cow Pasture...
AKA The Cow Pasture...
Windsor is my home town and i’m not familiar with the term Cow Pasture for that stretch of water....can you elaborate?
Windsor is my home town also and I am not familiar with it either.
Flint Michigan wasn’t really an issue of pollution, as far as I understand.
This is what I understand of the case:
Lots of homes in Flint had lead pipes. Rather than remove the lead pipes, a sealant was put on them to make the water from them safe to drink. Perfectly good, clean drinking water from a nearby river was pumped into the city water system. But the lead pipes required “corrosion inhibitors” to keep the sealants from dissolving. Absent the inhibitors, the natural water dissolved lead already in people’s homes.
It’s the deeper water just south of the River mouth Running along the Canadian Side. They pull a lot of big Hens out of there, hence the term cow pasture...
#13 Yeap and a whole lot of finger pointing, blame being thrown around.
And the result is going to be we the Citizens of the State again bail out another Crap Hole run into the dust bin of history by 40 years of rat Control.
Such a shame that nothing in politics is done without ulterior motives or with good intentions anymore.
I know exactly where you are talking about, i lived on our family boat docked in Little River directly across from the boat launches and would see the guys fishing that area every morning around 5 am.
The guys were like machines, catch their limit in an hour then race in pull the boat race home and back within a half hour and do it again.
