The only way to enjoy the deep woods towns 5 rating By paulkr 1968 ( Jul 23, 2014) I have been loving this great week. I have to pinch myself at times to remember that I'm really not that far north like Rhinelander, and Upper Michigan. The people are"bend over backwards friendly. " I was just looking for a few minutes to get the best way to find a good restaura ...Read More nt and I was assisted by a gentleman named Paul, and he told me which and why to go to the establishment. The place(River Rats)was a great time. The food was good and the rest of the people were very happy to help me with any questions.
I have no problem offering the trip a5+rate. I also have to say that I will definitely be returning on Octoberfest.The celebration is being held this year on the last weekend of September.
The only thing that I have is when are they going to return the original festivals of French Island?
I am happy to report and review this wonderful little town. Read Less
