Hop in your car and head to Harsens Island.

About 40 minute’s from the intersection of I-75 & I-696 (Royal Oak) you will find a ferry boat that will escort you from Algonac, the main land, to one of the best kept secrets in South East Michigan. Harsens Island.

Located in between the North & South Channel, where Lake St. Clair meets the St. Clair River, visitors and residents alike are drawn to the Island to soak up the beauty of the freshwater deltas, wildlife, freighter watching, and a host of other sights. Sportsmen are attracted to the abundance of hunting and fishing offered on the Island.

While you’re visiting Harsens Island, stop & check out Browns Restaurant.

Browns  is located on Harsens Island on the Middle Channel, a local landmark since 1946. Tucked away down a creek, it caters to not only the gas guzzling motor trade, but also those arriving by water from their holiday homes. Take in the view while watching the local boaters pull their boat up to the dock after a long day on the water.  Everyone is welcome to enjoy a “family friendly” hang out, with a menu that  includes burgers, wraps, salads and fish & chips. Dinner specials and drink discounts daily.
