Harbor Springs
Welcome to Harbor Springs, Michigan! This lakeside community is located on Little Traverse Bay of Lake Michigan just around the bay from Petoskey and is a smaller settlement with only about 1,200 residents year-round. Formerly home to the largest concentration of Native Americans in the Petoskey Area there is much to be discovered about the local Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians and their history.
As its name eludes the communities center is its boating community with one of the deepest natural basins on the Great Lakes. Harbor Springs is also known for scenic M 119 that is home to the Tunnel of Trees. It is popular in the fall months for the changing leaves but beautiful year-round. Among its many attractions, Harbor Springs is also home to The Highlands which is home to world-class golfing and some of Michigan’s best skiing in the winter.
