Explore the wonder of North and South Manitou Island trails

Explore the wonder of North and South Manitou Island trails
The magnificent South Manitou Island Lighthouse is one of several inter - esting views on South Manitou Island. Both North and South Manitou Islands offer over 30 miles of hiking trails to be explored. Enterprise photo by Brian Freiberger.

A short boat ride from Leland rises the historic Manitou islands, which hold the opportunity for a scenic hiking or camping trip.

North Manitou Island has just over 20 miles worth of trails, with the main loop measuring to 13.3 miles. South Manitou has roughly 17 miles of hiking trails and premitive roads that has another surprise around every corner.

The Island was hit hard by an ice storm that missed the mainland of Leelanau and plagued other areas of the state back in March.
