Leland was established in 1883. It sits on the mouth of the Leland River. It has ferry boats that will take you to either of the Manitou Islands. |
Behind some of the shops I discover a river that flows through town and into the harbor and out to Lake Michigan. |
This interesting fish tug, "Janice Sue" was tied up in the river. |
These fishing nets hung out to dry. I don't know if they were actually used or were just decorations. |
Behind the fish shop I found the smoker room. |
This is the harbor/marina going out to the lake. |
Diane liked this fish tug "Joy" because of its name. |
They have charter fishing boats to take you out fishing on the lake. |
I pose for the camera next to this large anchor. |
Small docks line the river that flows to the lake. Unfortunately there is a small dam between here and the harbor. So these boats can only go to Lake Michigan, not Lake Leland. |
This is the river above the dam. The boats on this side can go to Lake Leland |

This tree is called the "Champion" is estimated to be 109 years old. November 2011, because it was losing more and more branches, and having trouble to leaf out. |
Looking up the lake. See how clear the water is. |

Picture of the garage. |
Picture of the Big Glen Lake from the deck on the back of the house. |
Back of the house, picture taken from the water's edge. All this for only $995,000. |
After leaving the house we continued to drive around Big Glen Lake. We found a park with a public dock we could walk out on. |
Swimming pool clear water. |
Back in Empire we picked up some groceries and stopped at this antique and furniture store. |
