Fishtown is a collection of weathered fishing shanties, smokehouses, overhanging docks, fish tugs and charter boats along the Leland River in Leland, Michigan. Once the heart of a commercial fishing village, the structures and docks are real places where people can walk through, see and feel a connection to Lake Michigan’s fishing heritage. For the past half-century it has been enjoyed and appreciated by thousands of visitors and regional residents who find the shanties, fish tugs and docks that make up the property a living legacy of our maritime culture.
Loaded with all sorts of cute shops everything from one that has hand dipped ice cream (including the real Blue Moon), resort wear, Crocs, windsocks & flags, Michigan pottery, smoked fish, old fashioned candy store named "The Dam Candy Store" sitting right next to the dam, restaraunts and tons of wonderful art.
