Our island tour begins in Hessel Bay, at the Hessel Marina. This is the  location of the famous Les Cheneaux (pronounced Lay-she-no) Antique Wooden Boat Show. Across  from the marina, you will see Mertaugh Boat Works, the very first Chris  Craft dealership in the United States. We cross Hessel Bay into Snows  Channel, and past Dollar Island. We cross Musky Bay into Cedarville  Channel.

On your left, you will see Viking Boat Harbor. Directly ahead, is the town of Cedarville. Crossing Cedarville Bay, you  will see Government Island, which is part of the Hiawatha National  Forest. Looking southeast, you see Lake Huron and Boot Island. Touring  around #8 Island and Coryell Island, you can see Bear Island in the  distance. The tour continues around Strongs Island, which is owned by  one of the original founders of the 4 Winns boat company.

Looking across McKay Bay, you can see the Michigan Lime Stone loading  dock. From here, we head southeast past Crow Island, and out into Lake  Huron, exiting Les Cheneaux Islands from the East Entrance. In the  distance, about five miles off shore, you can see Martins' Reef  Lighthouse.

Turning back towards the northwest, we pass Government  Island and soon you can see the Middle Entrance and Goose Island. Continuing northwest, we will approach the West Entrance  to Les Cheneaux Islands. We enter back into the islands where we will  pass Birch Island, and Long Island. At the end of this island, you will see a block house that dates back to the late 1800's. Going  past Haven Island, we will return to the Hessel Marina.
