The town shops are mostly arts and crafts shops with a few exceptions. One of them is famous Rosseau General Store, which has stood since the late 19th century. The town also has a marina and public beach area that has undergone renovations including new boat launches and large docks, a pavilion and public washrooms. The town also has a nice restaurant, which is known as Crossroads. There are many charming shops and friendly residents. Rosseau is a popular tourist area, with many people visiting in the summer months to come and stop and enjoy the gorgeous scenery, shop for arts and crafts, or just stop at the historic buildings and stores and look around.
