Omena Bay

Omena, Michigan celebrated its Sesquicentennial in 2002. The settlement had its beginnings in 1852. This historic community lies midway along Leelanau County’s west shore on Lake Michigan’s Grand Traverse Bay. Omena is 25 miles north of Traverse City. Omena is a small town in sheltered Omena Bay. It is home to a small grocery store, Lavendar Lane on the Bay, Leelanau Wine Cellars and the amazing Tamarack Craftsman art gallery. The recently opened Knot Just A Bar is a big hit and soon to be stopover favorite. The bay is a great overnight anchorage and protected from north and mild south westerly winds. Stronger SW winds will create a bit of a harbor surge.
