Peche Island, River island in Ontario, Canada
The 86-acre Peche Island sits at the convergence of Lake Saint Clair and Detroit River, featuring natural trails and historical canals through forested areas.
Native peoples established fishing villages on the island before European settlement, with the LaForest family becoming the first permanent French-Canadian residents.
The island changed ownership multiple times, including Hiram Walker who constructed a mansion, golf course, and recreational facilities during the late 1800s.
Visitors can access the island from June to October via the City of Windsor's shuttle service departing from Lakeview Park Marina.
The shoreline continues to decrease due to erosion from cargo ship traffic and elevated water levels, requiring ongoing restoration efforts.
