The image was taken from Belle Isle of the pier extending out onto the water.
There is no cost to enter the park, however a Recreation Passport is needed to DRIVE onto the island. This costs $11.00/car and $5.00/motorcycle for Michigan residents and $31.00 for non-Michigan residents.
After you enter Belle Isle, drive around the island to the GPS coordinates. Once you're there, you can park on the street and access the pier by foot. Reference the GPS coordinates in satellite view for context.
