How far is Detroit from New York when driving?

I live in NYC. One of my friends lives in Detroit and I’m considering going to visit him, but I don’t normally do long drives. I just want to know what I’m in for. How far is the drive from New York to Detroit?

Find some

fun roadside attractions

to visit along the way.

Plan to camp out at the halfway point, like Guilford Lake State Park near Youngstown, Ohio.

Visit some

highly rated restaurants

along your route.

Most importantly, make sure you have great car insurance before hitting the road.
