I went to Pelee Island as a kid for day trips on our boat out of East Harbor - over 50 years ago. Doesn't sound like it has changed much. In the 50's and 60's we went there for the cheap liquor and beer. About all they had then was a general store that sold Scottish skirts and winter sweaters. There was also a small restaurant. And yes we had water problems back then also. Remember one time water skiing back to East Harbor and the green algae coated the water. But, we didn't know any different back then--there was no EPA, etc. Glad to hear it hasn't changed much since then.

We, my family, used to take the boat over to Pelee Island also when I was a teenager. It was a great place to visit and we didn't like leaving...it was so beautiful and so peaceful. We used to walk to the area where the glaciers had cut grooves into the rocks. We ate at a restaurant/tavern there...I remember the wonderful fried mushrooms they served!!!
Though I don't leave in Ohio anymore, my memories of Pelee Island, Put-In-Bay, Middle Bass Island are unforgettable!
