Easy to reach...Hard to Leave.
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.
