About Lake Leelanau
Lake Leelanau runs the length of the Leelanau Peninsula northwest of Traverse City, about 21 miles long, split into north and south basins at the village of Lake Leelanau and 121 feet deep. Vineyards, Suttons Bay and the M-22 loop frame it; the Leelanau Narrows bridge is where everyone stops.

Why we cut this one
Lake Leelanau is one of the lakes people ask us for by name — the kind of shoreline where the house has a name and the dock has a history. This board is cut from the same depth grid the configurator uses for all 104,419 lakes, so the shape is the real one.Turn it in your hands
