Boat access lots and road access lots

The Les Cheneaux Islands are an archipelago of 36 small islands under Clark Township's jurisdiction, and Marquette Island is the largest. Water covers 22.63 of the township's 101.6 square miles. Cedarville sits where M-129 meets M-134, about two miles east of Hessel. An island parcel reached only by boat and a mainland home on a plowed road are hard to compare, even when both face the same channel.

Water makes up about 22% of Clark Township. Marquette Island is the largest of its 36 islands.

Wooden boats and an older owner base

Hessel hosts the Les Cheneaux Islands Antique Wooden Boat Show at its public docks each August, and the Les Cheneaux Historical Association runs it. The association also operates the historical and maritime museums in Cedarville. Clark Township's median age was 56.7 in the 2020 to 2024 ACS. Marquette Township to the west is quieter, with 611 residents in 2020 and a $145,100 median owner value, and part of Pickford reaches into its northeast corner.

It had 1,917 residents in 2020, and the 2020 to 2024 ACS counted 2,147 housing units, far more than the 836 households living there.

Which school district serves Les Cheneaux homes?

Les Cheneaux Community Schools, based in Cedarville, provides public education from kindergarten through grade 12 for all of Clark Township, per Wikipedia.
