Summer is slipping away, and if you’re still saying, “We should do something this summer…” this is your sign to head to the City of Flat Rock. We’re taking you to Flat Rock for the ultimate Downriver summer day, and yes, you can fit all of this into one day!

Start your morning at Sugar Island Cafe + Bakery with a delicious breakfast and a fresh cup of coffee to fuel up for the day ahead. Then, head out to the river for some fishing and enjoy a little time slowing down and taking in the outdoors.

Once you’ve worked up an appetite, make your way to Wize Guys at the Fiorelli's Restaurant Collection. Enjoy a cocktail, share some appetizers, and dig into a pizza before heading back out for the afternoon.

Next up: the Huron River. Get out on the water and spend the afternoon kayaking through Flat Rock. Take in the sunshine, enjoy the scenery, and experience one of the best ways to spend a summer afternoon in Downriver.

Once you’re done with your kayak trip, you don’t have to go far. Walk right up to Atwater Street Tacos and end the day with tacos and a laid back atmosphere. After a full day on the water, it’s the perfect way to wrap up your Flat Rock adventure.

Breakfast. Fishing. Cocktails. Pizza. Kayaking. Tacos. That’s a full summer day, all in the City of Flat Rock!

Summer isn’t going to stick around forever, so make the most of the season while you can. Grab your friends, plan your day, and experience everything Flat Rock has to offer.
