Newburgh Pointe

Newburgh Pointe is located on the shores of Newburgh Lake. This 152-acre lake was cleaned in 1998 through a Rouge River National Wet Weather Demonstration Project, and stocked with bluegill, bass and other pan fish.

The lake was originally constructed as a millpond around 1819. In 1935 the old mill was demolished by Henry Ford and replaced with a new "Village Industry Plant". A new dam was also built by the Wayne County Road Commission as a cooperative venture.

The historic comfort station offers a paddleboat concession and fishing docks during the summer. In the winter the lake is swept for iceskating. Newburgh Pointe is a beautiful area with two finger piers for fishing and a small boat launch. You can stroll around the lake on a hiking trail or ride your bike on the Hines Bike Path that crosses the site and connects to the I-275 bike trail.

Paddle and Rowboating on Newburgh Lake: The paddleboat and rowboat rentals on Newburgh Lake in Hines Park will be open from Memorial Day to Labor Day. The Paddleboat Concession is located on Hines Drive west of Newburgh Road in the city of Livonia.
