Harrison Township isn't just a spot on the map for its freshwater access or the Selfridge Air National Guard Base; it’s got a charm that deserves a leisurely exploration. A recent piece by Macomb County's official website gave us a rundown of what a perfect summer day might look like in this unassuming locale.
The starting point was Col. Donald and Candice Miller Park, a newly renovated space that's grabbing attention for its DIA mural and fishing opportunities on the new pier. A warm breeze and bustling activity set a welcoming scene for families and fishing enthusiasts alike. Next up, Eddies Drive-In threw it back with a '50s vibe, complete with roller-skating waitresses and capable fries, but the article noted holding back on a full meal because there was more to sample later on.
The journey continued with a glance at Lake St. Clair Metropark's array of offerings, from a nature center to a splash pad, guaranteeing visitors a jam-packed day. On the periphery, the Selfridge Air National Guard Base stood impressive with its air traffic and military presence. The facility houses a museum that’s open to the public on weekends, featuring historical and aircraft displays, as per information from Macomb County's website.
After some sightseeing, lunch was served at Bumpers Landing, sporting waterfront seating and a diverse menu. The Bumpers bar burger and chicken Caesar wrap came highly recommended. Then came a sweet pitstop at Frosty Boy ice cream with an array of choices that demanded deliberation. With picks like a Reese's peanut butter cup “frost bite” and dirt sundae, it surely capped off the day's events with a delightful chill.
