New for 2013 After operating our 49 passenger vessel “Shirley Ann” for five seasons we have determined a more enclosed vessel is needed to provide our passengers with a more comfortable ride. On certain evenings the ride back to mainland could be rather cool. For that reason we have sold the “Shirley Ann” and transportation to Charity island will be provided by Browns Landing at 1187 Dyer Rd., Tawas City, MI 48763 aboard the 35 passenger vessel “Miss Charity Isle”.

In the days before ship-to-shore radios and global positioning systems, lighthouses were the only signposts guiding travelers on the Great Lakes. If you couldn't see them, or the stars and the sun, you were driving blind. This tour visits the Lights of Northern Lake Huron that disappeared from view during the great storm of 1913.

Perchville is one of the longest running festivals in Michigan. Started back in 1936 to coincide with the perch spawning season, it was immediately popular with more than 15,000 visitors in 1938. Things have changed a bit. The festival is now held in February so folks who just want to have fun can go jump in the frozen lake. That is right. They do have a polar plunge and way more people than you would expect line up to jump into a hole cut in the Lake Huron ice.
