Buy Your Own Michigan Island

Take the ferry from Cheboygan to your own piece of Bois Blanc Island, neighbor to Mackinac Island.

Michigan Department of Natural Resources is auctioning off property on Bois Blanc Island.

Bois Blanc, "the other island," is neighbor to Michigan's famous Mackinac Island. Bois Blanc is much bigger but few tourists sail to its shores.

Now is the time to get your own piece of pure Michigan as fifty-three parcels of the 34 square mile island will be auctioned off, ranging in size from under an acre to 22.5 acres in size.

The auction will take place August 11 at Kewadin Casino in Sault St. Marie. Full details here.

So what would you do with a chunk of your own private island?
