Harsens Island, located at the mouth of the St. Clair River on Lake St. Clair, once attracted thousands of Detroit tourists who arrived aboard the steamer Tashmoo to enjoy Tashmoo Park and the island's resort hotels. Learn about the island that is now a DNR Wildlife Area and home to 1,200 residents.
