Frankfort

Frankfort straddles the outlet of Betsie Lake in northwestern Michigan, a position on Lake Michigan that developed it as a sheltered harbor. The Betsie River enters the lake on the town’s eastern side, while open water begins beyond the harbor channel and its long breakwaters. At the entrance stands the Frankfort North Breakwater Lighthouse, built in 1932 and still a defining maritime landmark. A compact downtown, sandy public beach, and proximity to Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore give this Benzie County community a distinctly lakeshore character.
