Nestled among orchards filled with cherries and apples and rolling vineyards, close to the northern point of the Leelanau Peninsula is Northport, one of the county’s earliest settlements. Northport was a shipping gateway to Grand Traverse Bay and was the first county seat. In the summertime, Northport comes alive with galleries, shops, concerts, marinas, parks and beaches.

The beach in town is a perfect bathing beach with water that stays shallow a long way out. North of town at Leelanau State Park, visit the Grand Traverse Lighthouse Museum, climb huge rocks and wade on the beach. Three miles west of town is Peterson Park where you can watch unbelievable sunsets on Cathead Bay.

Omena is located south of Northport and began as an Indian Mission. Today, the town is home to family farms and historical landmarks including a country stores established in 1889 and the oldest Protestant Church in Leelanau. Omena has shops, a large gallery and a winery with an awe-inspiring view of Grand Traverse Bay.
