Finding hidden treasures in Leelanau

Northport Trading Post hosts summer treasure hunts

People can often be found year-round searching for regional rocks along the beaches up north — and this summer, some may get lucky and find a treasure chest hidden in Leelanau with even more colorful stones.

Scot and Jennifer Wack, owners of the Northport Trading Post, a popular rock/gift shop in downtown Northport, first began the treasure hunts last summer around Memorial Day, a busy time of year when the season really starts kicking up. Weekly treasure hunts have been held until the end of August, after the Labor Day weekend.
