Lake Leelanau

Lake Leelanau is a village between suttons bay and leland. It is the only place that you can cross Lake Leelanau by bridge, thus coined the village “Lake Leelanau.” The lake itself is about 16 miles long, there is a north end and south end, and the narrows connect the two. I have lived here on and off through out my life and it is a quiet little place, nearly off the map. I think the village itself is quite depressed, and if it werent for the beautiful autumns and the several dozen shades of blue freshwater that can be seen by driving five miles east or west, the place would not be what it is. It surely is not a place a entrepreneur can work his or her magic easily, in the time I have spent here I have seen business’s come and go(mostly belly up). With the exception of a bar, grociery store, and a coffee shop that seems out of its element but does very well. To some it up, there arent many places in Michigan that can compare to the beauty of Lake Leelanau and the surrounding areas, however good luck finding a decent job, or an ethnic restaurant.
