The City of Gibraltar is a clean, quiet, and pleasant community with many homes adjacent to the waterways. The City is without heavily traveled roads, the roar of traffic, and the noise of heavy industry. Many of the homes that are situated along the waterways have large picture windows. The residents can look out upon the water and enjoy the antics of the ducks & geese. This is especially true in the spring when the ducklings are hatched. They provide joy and entertainment for the residents and visitors alike.

Gibraltar, is a very unique community and a little different than the nearby inland areas, mainly because it is enriched by it's proximity to the water. The water also tempers the air so that, in the summer, we are a few degrees cooler than the inland communities.

There is approximately two and one-half miles of water frontage on the Detroit River and a network of canals. A majority of the homes have easy access to the water. During the warmer months, boating, fishing, and water-related sports are the favorite pastimes of many citizens.

Many boaters cross Lake Erie for a weekend to spend time at Put-in-Bay or Cedar Point, Ohio. The water has a soothing effect upon the visitors and residents. In a short period of time, you can leave your troubles behind, and enjoy the tranquility of the adjacent trails to nearby Lake Erie Metro Park.
