Glen Arbor

A lakeside town at the heart of Sleeping Bear Dunes, where the Cherry Republic flagship store, kayak rentals and a heritage trail are popular draws.

Glen Arbor lies between Lake Michigan and Glen Lake and serves as a base for exploring the national lakeshore. The Cherry Republic flagship store in town lets you sample all kinds of cherry products. At Crystal River you can rent kayaks or tubes for a float; the water is shallow and gentle, suiting families. The paved Sleeping Bear Heritage Trail runs from Empire through the dune climbs and Glen Haven to here, and cycling a stretch of it is very pleasant. Summer accommodation is tight, so book early.
