About Leelanau County With 98 miles of Lake Michigan shoreline and 30 square miles of inland lakes and rivers, the Leelanau peninsula is truly a "Land of Delight". The inland lakes, North and South Lake Leelanau, Lime Lake and Big and Little Glen are rated as some of the most beautiful in the world and offer public access to swimming, fishing and other water sports while Lake Michigan and the Grand Traverse Bay offer miles of secluded and sandy beaches and wide open water for sailing and watching the sun set or rise. Leelanau's land as well is rich with natural beauty and diversity, with the highlight certainly the 75,000 acres of the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. Hiking and other outdoor recreation -- climbing the dunes or playing golf in summer, hunting for morels and planting gardens in the spring, cross country or downhill skiing in the winter--there's always healthy activities for people of every age and inclination to be found. Leelanau County is the number one cherry producer in Michigan and one of the leading wine growing regions in the nation. The continuance of agriculture ensures that many of Leelanau's hilltops and ridgelines retain the look that has made the County a tourist destination for years. Committed action by residents, township government and organizations such as the Leelanau Conservancy have helped as well in preserving the natural beauty of the County. Leelanau County has numerous towns and villages: Cedar, Empire, Glen Arbor, Lake Leelanau, Leland, Maple City, Northport, Peshawbestown and Suttons Bay; which provide shopping and services aplenty, each rich in its own history and annual events. Four public and two private school systems give children fine educational options in a setting that ensures that students are not overlooked.
