North of Frankfort in Leelanau County is Sleeping Bear Dunes National Seashore. There's a 7-mile motor route you can take called Pierce Stocking Scenic Drive (named after a lumberman who, awed by the dunes, developed it). Glen Lake, with its remarkably blue water, is the first stop. It appears divided into two parts by the narrow bridge that crosses it. Little Glen Lake, in the foreground, is only 12 feet deep, but Big Glen Lake, beyond the bridge is 130-feet deep. They were both carved out by glaciers and at one time were part of Lake Michigan.
