Leelanau Peninsula, Peninsula between Lake Michigan and Traverse Bay in Michigan, US
The Leelanau Peninsula features beaches, vineyards, orchards, and dense forests extending along 30 miles of Lake Michigan shoreline.
The Grand Traverse Lighthouse, constructed in 1858, served as a critical navigation point for ships traversing the waters between Lake Michigan and Grand Traverse Bay.
Local restaurants and markets across the peninsula showcase Michigan cherries and wines produced by the numerous vineyards in the region.
The M-22 highway circles the peninsula, connecting visitors to state parks, beaches, wineries, and small towns throughout the northern Michigan destination.
The peninsula contains over 25 wineries specializing in cold-climate grape varieties, making it the largest wine region in Michigan.
