nation with hundresds of miles of shoreline. All that fluid comes in a glorious spectrum of shades and shapes from big blue Lake michigan to the azures of the inland Lake Leelanau and Glen Lakes. throw in a couple of clear, sand-bottomed rivers and you have the ingredients for unforgettable paddling, fishing, cruising and just plain splashing. And the land? it’s packed with the best things in life from vineyards to sand dunes, small resort towns to wilderness. the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, Leland’s fishtown and a winery tour are don’t misses in this vacation heaven. But the truth is, you just can’t miss when you visit Leelanau. it’s all good!—The editors of MyNorth.com and Traverse, Northern Michigan’s Magazine. p.S. check out our new On the Go mobile extras: videos, photo galleries and more!
