"Picture-perfect Leland sits in an isthmus between Lake Michigan and north Lake Leelanau. There is a charming main drag with a handful of noteworthy shops, but historic Fishtown is where it all began. Housed in a vintage fishing shanty, there is no better place to get a taste of Leland’s commercial fishing roots than Carlson’s, which smokes lake trout and whitefish on site, and now boasts a wall of tinned fish and other snacks to round out your picnic." - Stacey Brugeman
