Leelanau State Park sits on a narrow peninsula with the historic Grand Traverse Lighthouse, rocky Lake Michigan shoreline, dunes and marsh—ideal for dramatic coastal landscapes, lighthouse portraits, and seasonal color. Best at golden hour and sunset for warm light and reflections; spring/summer wildflowers and fall color add interest. Accessible via a small parking lot off Lighthouse Point Rd; Michigan Recreation Passport or day pass required for vehicles. Short walks from parking to viewpoints
