Loving summer around Glen Arbor
“We’re here to stay and we’re all loving summer around Glen Arbor – more than ever”… is the feeling you get around the Glen Lake and surrounding areas in Leelanau that got hit by the storm that occurred on August 2nd. We want to encourage you visit and stay because Summer’s not over – and we are OPEN! Experience the natural beauty and uniqueness of the area…now and year round.
Getting back to normal after the storm
Everything is getting back to normal at Sleeping Bear Dunes. People are swarming the Dune Climb, the Pierce Stocking Scenic Drive, walking the beaches, and riding the Sleeping Bear Heritage Trail (from Empire to Glen Haven and from Glen Arbor north to Port Oneida Road).
The Township crew was out working to clear debris on Forest Haven road, by the SBHT entrance. DH Day Campground still needs some TLC to open. The Park Service Tree Crew has been working in there for the past week and are nearly finished.
Yoga on the beach is back and benefiting the Friend of Sleeping Bear Dunes. The farmer’s market that takes place by the Township Hall in Glen Arbor will resume next Tuesday as usual – after having to cancel due to the storm. People are rallying more than ever to support their neighbors, form volunteer groups, give generously and all around – just enjoy the natural beauty of the area.
