10 Most Beautiful Lakes in MichiganLake is near the charming little town of Glen Arbor (tourist destination on its own rights - being at the heart of Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, with a charming downtown filled with boutiques, restaurants, art galleries, and welcoming inns). Lake has an almost perfect sandy shoreline surrounded by rolling dunes and small forests. The water is crystal clear. Big Glen Lake and its smaller cousin Little Glen Lake separated from Lake Michigan by the narrow sandbar. The lake is very popular with boaters and families looking for a nice day of swimming as well as with fishermen. It is rich with yellow perch, brown trout, smallmouth bass, lake trout, and northern pike. The Glen Lakes are connected by a narrow channel that runs under the bridge that crosses the lakes. Just next to the lake is the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore (110-foot tall dunes). The park stretches to Lake Michigan and also north and south of Manitou Islands.
