The lack of hills or high ground around this area really hurts your chances of getting an unobstructed view from most places. That's why there's really nothing better than the far west tip of Belle Isle, with miles of open river in front of you, and the twin downtowns of Detroit and Windsor on either side. The westward facing elevators/stairwells in the Renaissance Center also give a great view, if you can get into them. The sunset from the edge of the river from Dieppe Park or Riverside Dr. in Windsor can be beautiful at certain times of the year. You get the full Zug Island effect from there.
