About De Tour Village
DeTour is surrounded on three sides by water, Lake Huron, the St. Mary's River and DeTour Passage

There are several waterfront picnic areas and the "northern-most" Botanical Garden in Michigan all with views of passing Freighters. In the winter there are over 50 miles of groomed local snowmobile trails, a large parking/staging area and easy access to thousands of miles of trails, via Drummond Island.

The Eastern Tip of the Upper Peninsula has been an important area for natives, settlers, and traders for hundreds of years. It has been named "Giwideonaning" by the Chippewa, which loosely translates to "point we go around in a canoe" and then similarly named "detour" or "the turn" in the river by french fur traders. Some of the early European explorers included Father Marquette, Louis Joliet, Antoine De La Cadillac and Sieur De La Salle. From De Tour Village web page
