Glen Haven is a restored port village located on the shore of Lake Michigan on the Leelanau Peninsula. It is now part of the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. This historic village offers a unique glimpse into the past and is a significant part of the region's history.
The Cannery Boathouse Museum
Another notable site in Glen Haven is the former Glen Haven Canning Co. building. Initially used as a warehouse, it later served as a cannery for cherries in the 1920s. It has been restored and is now the Cannery Boathouse Museum, which houses historic small wooden boats used in the Manitou Passage between Glen Haven/Glen Arbor and the North and South Manitou Islands.
Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore
Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore is a United States National Lakeshore located on the 'little finger' of the lower peninsula of Michigan in Leelanau and Benzie counties. The park spans a 35-mile (56 km) stretch of Lake Michigan's eastern coastline, as well as North and South Manitou Islands. The park was primarily established for its outstanding natural features, including forests, beaches, dune formations, and ancient glacial phenomena.
