TOWN OF GLEN ARBOR

The small town of Glenn Arbor is almost surrounded by Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. It is about 45 minutes West of our RV park.



Our plan today was to have lunch in Glenn Arbor and then drive the near-by Pierce Stocking Drive inside the National Lakeshore that climbs to over 900 feet above sea level and to the edge of the dunes. The drive is only 7.4 miles long and there are five overlooks.

There are quite a number of small stores and eating places along the main street. We settled on this small place called Thyme-Out. There is also a Thyme-Inn - a B&B not far from the restaurant.


We sat at a table in this outdoor eating deck right at the edge of a crystal clear brook. There were many kayakers and canoeists passing by us as we had lunch.


Later we explored the town. We were looking for the Cherry Republic store.

The town is very nicely adorned with many flowers like these cone flowers.


Here is the Cherry Republic store. It sells many treats made from cherries - a major crop of the whole area.
