Fishtown
"Fishtown", at the mouth of the Leland River where it feeds into Lake Michigan, is one of the last few fisheries on the Great Lakes.
This picture shows some of the fishing charter boats, and Carlson's Fisheries. Established in 1904, Carlson's is a family fishing and smokehouse business that has passed through five generations of ownership.
Fishtown is very lively, and a top tourist spot in Michigan. The original fishing shanty town is home to several small businesses. Additional quaint shops, art galleries, and restaurants that serve fresh fish from the docks, are found on the streets adjacent to Fishtown. In addition, the Manitou Island Ferry docks at Fishtown.
