Hessel Marina
Tucked into the Les Cheneaux Islands on Lake Huron's northern shore, Hessel Marina sits at the west entrance of a network of beautifully sheltered channels and bays that make this one of the most quietly stunning spots in the Upper Peninsula. You're centrally positioned between Mackinac Island, St. Ignace, and DeTour Village, so it works great as a base for exploring the region. Grab groceries at NibbleLungen just up the street, then settle in and enjoy the kind of slow, scenic pace that Clark Township does best.
