The Les Cheneaux Islands Area is easy to reach, located just 13 miles east from the intersection of I-75 (exit 359) and Highway M-134, within Mackinac County & Clark Township in Michigan's picturesque eastern Upper Peninsula.
Les Cheneaux occupies 12 miles of shore on Lake Huron with the two villages of Cedarville and Hessel providing excellent tourism support and marina services.
Les Cheneaux has always been bonded to the woods and waters, since the late 19th century. We are a community that is proud of our heritage and strive to maintain the pristine values that have drawn tourists to our area year after year.
Les Cheneaux has provided a focal point for tourists seeking a break from urban ways and means, whether it is in the spring, summer, fall or winter.
Within and around the 36 islands of Les Cheneaux, tourists are able to enjoy nature, fishing, snowmobiling casino gaming, snowshoeing and just plain relaxation.
If you haven't made up your mind to visit us, contact our Welcome Center for more information.

Cormorant Management
Program Continues
in Les Cheneaux
|
Local volunteers working with the Department of Agriculture are actively deterring & reducing the numbers of Cormorant feeding in the Les Cheneaux area. This is the fourth year of the management program, and we are pleased to see fewer birds returning this spring. The DNR Fisheries Division reports that the reduction in bird numbers has resulted in a marked increase in fish numbers!
We'd like to express our appreciation to those who have volunteered their time in the effort, as well as those who have supported this endeavor financially.
Due to the increased cost of fuel and equipment, monetary support is needed to continue this work. Donations would be very welcomed, and should be made to Islands Wildlife Cormorant Fund (IWCF) at Box 284 Cedarville, MI 49719.
Sincerely,
The Islands Wildlife Committee Members
