Dequindre Cut

The Dequindre Cut is a pedestrian and bicycle path running through Midtown Detroit on a former abandoned railroad line. The route follows an old railroad corridor and provides a direct way to travel between neighborhoods with tree cover and open sections.

The path follows the former Detroit-Cincinnati Railroad route, which was abandoned decades ago. The project to convert the railroad corridor into a public path began in the 2000s and has revived the space since then.

The path is named after the nearby Dequindre Creek and connects different neighborhoods together. Residents and visitors use it daily for walking, jogging, or discovering the city in new ways.

The path is free to use for walkers and cyclists and runs through a populated neighborhood with nearby shops and restaurants. The paved surface is typically well-maintained and suitable for various activities.

The path has been enriched with art installations and murals from local artists who have filled the corridor with color and creativity. These artistic contributions evolve constantly, making each visit a new visual discovery.
