Les Cheneaux Islands Area Tourist Association

The Les Cheneaux Islands Resort Area is located in Michigan's Eastern Upper Peninsula, approximately 30 miles north of and east of the Mackinac Bridge. The name "Les Cheneaux" (pronounced "Lay-Shen-O") is French in origin meaning "the channels." Our series of 36 islands along 12 miles of Lake Huron shoreline afford many channels throughout the area. The sheltered bays, channels and quiet coves make for ideal sailing and boating as small crafts are protected from the Great Lake's winds.

Within these 36 islands are the one time fishing villages of Cedarville and Hessel, offering fine marinas, lodging, camping, restaurants, and shopping. From our picturesque islands and waterways to our wetlands and pine scented forests, you will soon discover why so many visitors return to "God's Country" year after year.

This truly is a year round vacationers' wonderland. Come see the Eastern U.P. any time of the year and discover the beauty of Les Cheneaux Country. You'll want to come back for more.
