MAPLE CITY. Fine French dining. Chef Guillaume Hazaël-Massieux graduated from École des Arts Culinaires et de l’hotellerie in Lyon, France; which is now known as L’Institut Paul Bocuse, for the celebrity chef and French food icon. Guillaume brings the discipline and rigor of his French training to the La Bécasse kitchen. His food is influenced by his experiences in the West Indies, as well as his mother’s renditions of the country foods typical of her childhood home in the east of France.. Reserve well ahead of time. There is also outside seating and more casual fare.

NORTHPORT This is THE place to enjoy a gorgeous sunset. Go out just before sunset and make sure to stay until after the sun goes down to enjoy the "bounce". The park sits up on a bluff. Go during the day, go down the 100+ steps to Lake Michigan for the best rock collecting around. Bring a bucket to collect your finds! Playground equipment for the kids; barbeque grilles.

EMPIRE No trip to Leelanau is complete without a trip to Sleeping Bear Dunes in Empire Michigan (the southwest corner of the peninsula and a good one hour drive from Northport). Start first at the Orientation Center and watch the film and get maps. Then to Pierce Stocking Drive where you will drive a loop with a number of sight seeing stops. Then onto the Dune Climb. After all that you deserve some ice cream or cherry pie (or both) at the Cherry Republic in Glen Arbor. You deserve it
