Grosse Ile Township

Located in the Detroit River in the southern part of Wayne County, Grosse Ile Township is comprised of 14 Islands. It takes its name from the largest island which is about 10 miles long and two miles wide.

Grosse Ile is considered a residential community of beautiful homes and large estates.

Commercial needs of the community are served by a few local businesses.

Some industrial activity is present on the south end of the main island adjacent to the Grosse Ile Municipal Airport.

Access to the island is via two bridges; one is county-owned and free while the other is a privately-owned toll bridge.

County roads on the mainland side connect with major state and federal roads providing access to the region.
