Les Cheneaux Islands

Les Cheneaux (the channels) Islands and the Cedarville - Hessel region of Michigan have been described as "one of the world's last great places." When you take time to visit you will quickly understand why.

“To the early French explorers the islands of Les Cheneaux, or “The Channels,” were used as refuge from the harsh storms that pummeled the northern Great Lakes. In more recent times, the name identifies a special area between St. Martin Bay and Beaver Point. The “Snows,” as some fondly refer to the area, is an area of unspoiled natural beauty where families have enjoyed the region’s unique character and tradition for generations.”

Today, this area is home to thriving communities, artists associations, museums and people dedicated to preserving the beauty and natural treasures that make the area so special.
