I suggest Greenfield Village in Dearborn. It's a beautiful walk and the admission is tax-deductable and the seasonal pass is fairly reasonable. There is a variety of things to look at to hold your interest while walking, such as the always changing gardens and the many different events they always have going on.

I choose Belle Isle in Detroit, MI. The island is 5.5 miles around the circumference,to get to the island you cross a beautiful bridge over the Detroit river. The scenery is beautiful even on cloudy mornings. The entire island is surrounded by water.There is none other!
