Bois Blanc Island, known as "Bob-lo" to area residents, is twelve miles long. In 1827 the United States government platted the island. The U.S. Coast Guard established a life-saving station at Walker's Point in 1890. The following year the Pointe Aux Pins Association was formed. In 1908, on behalf of the association, President Walter B. Webb hired the Mason L. Brown Company, a Detroit Surveying firm, to plat and record the Pointe Aux Pins was the first resort community on the Island. Much of Bois Blanc Island is state-owned forest land containing White and Norway pines that tower 200 feet tall. As recently as the 1950s. Bois Blanc provided lumber to Mackinac Island where woodcutting is prohibited.
