Glen Lake

Some people call it the crown jewel–

We don‘t think that does it justice. It‘s our heart and soul, our alpha and omega, our be-all-and-end-all. Glen Lake. Just minutes from Glen Arbor, National Geographic once called it one of the most beautiful lakes in the world. We‘re inclined to agree. The waters are crystal clear, the dunes are just over the horizon, and on a clear day there‘s nowhere in the world we‘d rather be. Powerboat, canoe, kayak, or sail boat– however you choose to explore, make sure you take time to gaze at the houses on the shore. For a stunning view of the Glen Lakes, visit Inspiration Point.
