Lake Michigan shoreline, pastoral beauty, towns that look like they came out of the pages of Saturday Evening Post, a drop-dead gorgeous Chain of Lakes and the most remote inhabited island in Lake Michigan defi ne this region. Hop the ferry to Beaver Island, watch boats chug under the drawbridge in Charlevoix, check out the yachts in the Elk Rapids Marina, rock hunt on a quiet Lake Michigan beach, grab a beer at Short’s Brewery in Bellaire, spend a summer day fl oating Torch Lake on a pontoon—and so much more. The Charlevoix & Chain of Lakes is where vacations turn into lifetime memories.

ELK RAPIDSThis little harbor town set on a thin strip of land between Elk Lake and Lake Michigan rolls out sweet as a storybook. Stroll a footbridge over the Elk River to the town library, don your swimsuit and water shoes to shoot the old sluice that stretches across where the river runs downtown, find your place in the sand on the Lake Michigan shore, stroll the 270-slip marina and browse the shopping district with its boutiques, galleries, restaurants and well-stocked wine shop. elkrapidschamber.org.

Add Beaver Island to your summer to do list!

Please call ahead for reservations.

islandairways.com



BEAVER ISLANDThe 32-mile trip by small plane or ferry from the mainland to this, the largest island in Lake Michigan, is just the begin-ning of the adventure. The rest is in the expansive beaches, forests, two lighthous-es, quirky history and great restaurants, bars and shops. beaverisland.org.

DON’T MISSBeaver Island Music Festival is a three-day outdoor event that features music of all tradi-tions and art. Camping is available. July 14–16. beaverislandmusicfestival.com.

Professional and student musicians from all over the country gather to perform classical music during Baroque on Beaver. July 29–August 7, baroqueonbeaver.org.

HISTORYIn the mid-1800s, a renegade Mormon leader and self-anointed prophet named James Strang led 300 devotees to the island, where he ruled over his inde-pendent Mormon “kingdom” until his assassination by followers in 1856. Following Strang’s death, Irish immigrants established a new enclave on the island. By the late 1800s, 95 percent of the islanders were Irish, and Gaelic was the common language. (Of the 881 residents in 1880, there were 141 Gallaghers, 123 Boyles, and 90 O’Donnells.) Relics of both the Mormon and Irish communities still survive today: the Mormon colony’s former print shop is now a museum, and the island’s two Irish pubs are the only establishments open year round.

GETTING TO THE ISLANDRound-trip fares to Beaver Island run approximately $60 on the ferry and $100 by plane. For details, check out the transportation companies.
