Leland MI and Fishtown

 

Leland, MI August 10, 2025

The sky was hazy because of Canadian wildfires.  In fact, the nearby islands were not visible on the 9th because of the smoke. The above is a view of the Leland River, looking Southeast on the 10th. Below is the view in the opposite direction, looking toward Fishtown:

We strolled through Leland enroute to the Fishtown Historic District and lunch. The area near the Yacht Harbor and Fishtown is very walkable.

Taking a pause in Fishtown

We decided on lunch at the Cove restaurant in Fishtown district.  I've always enjoyed the Whitefish in the UP.  It is a mild, firm fish and I prefer it fried.  Cherry season has ended, but there were an abundance of goodies available, including cherry pie. I really enjoyed the pie at the Cove.  Lots of cherries, slightly tart and not overwhelmed by syrup or starch.  Yum.

I ordered a fried whitefish sandwich.  I spread it with a thin layer of house made tartar sauce, which interfered with the photo.  To see what it is like "naked" you'll simply have to order your own.  I thought it was delicious!

We shared a slice of Cherry Pie and Vanilla Ice Cream. A winning combination.

It was time to go.  Next stop, the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore and Munising.
