Legend has it that a forest fire on the western shore of Lake Michigan drove a mother bear and her two cubs to cross the lake to a nearby bluff for safety. When the mother bear arrived, her cubs were nowhere to be found. She waited on a high bluff hoping to see her cubs return. Her faith and determination caused the Great Spirit to create the North and South Manitou Islands.

Why is the island known as America's Emerald Isle?
Beaver Island is home to about 600 year-round residents and many of them have Irish immigrant ancestors that made it a bustling 19th-century fishing port. As the Irish immigrants wrote back to their families, the island was often referred to as America's Emerald Island.
Still to this day, the Irish heritage is frequently celebrated on the island.
