The highlight of any trip to Leland is exploring the tiny, historic Fishtown which is one of the last working and thriving fishing districts on the Great Lakes. Time + Leisure says:

On the coast of Michigan’s Leelanau Peninsula, between Lake Michigan and Lake Leelanau, you’ll find Leland and Fishtown, a tourism dream team composed of a working commercial fishing village and a community of people who love their summer cottages.

 Leland is a special place virtually untouched by time. For instance, it has no stoplights.

 

And the oft-photographed Leland canal epitomizes Michigan’s lakeside charm.

 

Leland is also known for its beautiful beaches and crystal-clear waters. Find everything from charming shops, museums, and restaurants along a great walk around town. The stunning sunsets over Lake Michigan provide the perfect end to a day spent in one of the most beautiful towns in the country. Leland's small-town charm, natural beauty, and welcoming community make it a must-visit destination in the Mitten.
