Detroit River International Wildlife Refuge Establishment Act - Establishes the Detroit River International Wildlife Refuge (Refuge) which shall consist of specified lands and waters in Michigan, including the Wyandotte National Wildlife Refuge.

Authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to: (1) conserve, enhance, and restore the native aquatic and terrestrial community characteristics of the Detroit River; (2) use available authority for the conservation of fish and wildlife and for provision of appropriate fish and wildlife oriented recreational opportunities in the Refuge; (3) ensure that compatible hunting, fishing, wildlife observation and photography, and environmental education and interpretation are the priority public uses of the Refuge; and (4) permit such activities on Federal lands and waters within the Refuge. Allows the Secretary to designate zones where and periods when such activities will not be permitted.

Authorizes the Secretary to enter into cooperative agreements with the State of Michigan, any political subdivision thereof, or any other person or entity: (1) for the management of lands within the Refuge owned by such person or entity; and (2) to promote public awareness of the Refuge's resources and encourage public participation in the conservation of those resources. Directs the Secretary to encourage the State to use existing authorities under the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century to provide funding for acquisition and development of trails within the Refuge.
