	The Times - The Curse of Peche Island
		Local businessmen possibly did not notice that Peche Island was not among the lands transferred to the Crown and began petitioning for grants for the land.
		Peche Island was so neglected that as late as 1955, the employee who guarded the island for the Bob-Lo Company spent his spare time there fishing for sturgeon, trapping muskrats, and hunting ducks.
		Despite vigorous efforts by local groups to have the island purchased by some government agency for use as a park, the Bob-Lo Co. retained the island until 1956 when it was sold to Peche Island Ltd. Their plans included filling the island’s water lot in to create a residential area.

	Peche Island Lighthouse Marine City Michigan
		The Peche Island rear range light was built in 1908 to mark the narrow passage from Lake St. Clair to the Detroit River and stood guard there for some 75 years.
		In 1926 the height was raised to a total of 66 feet, and with that additional height the tower protected the passage until September 23, 1983 when it was scheduled for decommission and destruction.
		When ever a freighter-ship passed by the island (between Detroit's mainland and Peche Island), bathers were warned NEVER to swim or stand in the water of the North shore of the Island.

	CEC: Closed Canadian Parks - Peche Island Park
		In 1913, the company announced plans to turn it into a facility similar to Boblo Island's amusement park, with buildings and amusements catering to the "more desirable element of pleasure-seekers".
		Bob-Lo sold the island in 1956 but nothing happened with the property until it was purchased in 1962 by E. J Harris.
		The island's future development was to include themed recreation areas using Canadiana from all provinces and territories, ice skating, a ski hill, restaurants, a hotel, reforestation, and possible cable car service from Windsor and Detroit.

		This is why Michiganders who fish on the Detroit River should buy a Canadian license.
		About 50 boats are concentrated in a mile-long stretch near Peche Island, most of them drifting and jigging but a few moving slowly upstream as their occupants work hand lines rigged with crawler harnesses.
		Three-quarters of the boats have Michigan registration numbers and carry anglers who can go to the side of the international boundary that offers the best fishing at the moment.
