Glen Haven is a restored port village on the shore of Lake Michigan on the Leelanau Peninsula within the now Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore.

He established a lumber mill on a pond between Little Glen Lake and the current National Park sand dune climbing area.

The timber products were brought to the Glen Haven port by a narrow gauge steam locomotive on tracks along the base of sand dunes.

[4] The former M-209, once the shortest state highway in Michigan, extended from M-109 to Sleeping Bear Dunes Road adjacent to the canning factory.

The park was established primarily for its outstanding natural features, including forests, beaches, dune formations, and ancient glacial phenomena.

The Lakeshore also contains many cultural features including the 1871 South Manitou Island Lighthouse, three former Life-Saving Service/Coast Guard Stations and an extensive rural historic farm district.
