Great Lakes Fisheries Heritage Trail

Rowleys Bay Restaurant at the resort has taken the iconic local tradition of the fish boil to a new level, with an entertaining actor who plays the part of the namesake of the bay, Peter Rowley. Sitting lakeside around a hot fire with a boiling cauldron of water, “Peter” tells groups, tours and tourists the colorful story of the bay from the early days of the Potawatomi up to the present, inserting jokes, asides, and inviting audience participation. As each ingredient of the boil is brought out by the boilmaster, he stops his story to introduce the historical tradition of fish boils and the culinary details behind it. The fish comes right in at the dock daily at the nearby fishing village of Gills Rock.
