Leelanau County, Michigan
Leelanau County sits at the tip of Michigan’s “pinky finger,” jutting into Lake Michigan. It has rolling hills, sandy beaches, and orchards. Cherry trees and grape vines thrive in the temperate climate.
The Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore dominates the western shore. Quaint towns like Leland and Suttons Bay are along the coastline.
Inland, you’ll find dense forests and crystal-clear lakes perfect for kayaking and stargazing. The Leelanau Peninsula is a playground for anyone looking to escape the grind of city life.
