Seasonal
Activities
Where
does one begin to tell you about being
in such a pristine area as the Les
Cheneaux Islands and not simply say, "Each
day is a Season of Events."
Let's begin by letting you know that
every season of the year is a special
event -- Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter! |
|
Summer |
| |
Summer
is fantastic - family fun for everyone. Boating,
swimming, sailing, fishing for salmon, perch, herring,
trout, northern pike & bass.
Our
4th of July events offer a beautiful display of
fireworks over the water that is hard to beat.
Our Salmon fishing is one of the best in the area and offers all ages the opportunity
to be a winner.
The Antique Wooden Boat Show in Hessel is one of the best in the nation, bringing
thousands of visitors from all over to display their antique wooden boats with
great pride. |
Fall |
|
Let's
begin this time of year with a walk across the "Big
Mac".
While
you are having the best family Memorial Day weekend
in Les Cheneaux, you can participate in the annual
Mackinac Bridge Walk with our current governor of
the State of Michigan.
As the color tours begin in our woodlands and forests, a drive through our exquisite
countryside will take your breath away!
Then, our hunting camps begin to open with the hopes of great success in hunting
waterfowl, turkey, partridge, rabbit and deer. |
Winter |
 |
The
quiet time. Cross-country ski trails are open and
the wildlife has relaxed from the hunting season.
It's
now time to walk the woods in those snowshoes and
cross-country skies.
Snowmobiling trails and an award-winning bridge to safely cross over I-75 onto
Mackinac trails that will take you on a day trip to visit our neighbors in St.
Ignace, Trout Lake and Newberry.
Maybe you want to open up your snowmobile across open fields on a day trip to
Pickford, Kinross and Sault Ste. Marie, or through the woods to Grandma's house
at our neighbors in DeTour and Drummond Island. |
