Leland Township

Leland Township straddles the Leland River channel between Lake Leelanau and Lake Michigan on Michigan’s Leelanau Peninsula, and this link between inland water and open lake has shaped its harbor communities. At the Lake Michigan end of the channel, the village of Leland developed around a fishing harbor. Fishtown preserves its historic waterfront of weathered fishing shanties and docks, while Manitou Island Transit operates seasonal crossings from Leland to the Manitou Islands in Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. Township roads also run through farmland, orchards, and lakeside settlements. Continue with other webcams from the area to see how this part of Michigan’s Leelanau Peninsula connects regionally.
