The summer season is very busy from Memorial through Labor Day weekend, however many out-of-towners will also make select off-season visits, for attractions including a spring festival celebrating our diverse bird population, and the beauty of the fall color changes. Dining in the area is highlighted by Hessel’s Les Cheneaux Culinary School, which operates a restaurant in the summer and hosts programs in the culinary arts for Lake Superior State University students. Another notable addition to our area resources has been the founding of Cedarville’s Great Lakes Boat Building School, in 2005. Considering this community’s long tradition of wooden boat ownership and appreciation for the many styles of these vintage watercrafts, it made perfect sense for a school to be created here that will offer programs for individuals looking to become accredited in boat building. The school’s mission of providing quality vocational training, while continuing to enrich and support our region’s maritime history, is another great reflection of what makes this area so special.
