Summer is dominated by water sports, boating, fishing, sailing and beachcombing. DeTour has a state-run 80 slip marina, two public and several private launch ramps along with the local businesses that support them. Vacation rentals are in full swing during the peak summer months. Restuarants, shops and sporting goods stores thrive during this period, meeting most demands. Join the 4th of July parade, the hot fishing spots, the DeTour Chamber sponsored Salmon Derby, or just hunt for Pudding Stones on the many beaches that surround DeTour.
Many tourists take advantage of the slow pace that the fall brings each year.
Scenic drives to see the remarkable colors of the changing leaves are common as well as visiting the pumpkin patches to select the perfect fall pumpkin. Check for lodging and restuarant specials at this time. Being closer to the North Pole than the equator, winter sports thrive in DeTour. They include snowmobiling, fishing and cross-country skiing. Groomed trails run right into town with restuarants and lodging on or near the trails.
