Elk River Landing at Elk Rapids Upper Harbor — photo spot in Elk Rapids, MI 49629, USA
Elk River Landing at Elk Rapids Upper Harbor
A small harbor where the Elk River meets Grand Traverse Bay — offers piers, moored boats, shoreline reflections, and nearby village buildings. Best at sunrise or sunset for warm light and reflections; blue hour brings marina lights and calm water. Easy public access with nearby street parking and a short pier/boardwalk; seasonal crowds peak in summer, quieter on weekday mornings. Great for seasonal color (autumn foliage) and winter ice/long-exposure scenes.
