Grand Traverse Bay

Encyclopedia : G : GR : GRA : Grand Traverse Bay

Grand Traverse Bay is located off Lake Michigan in Northern Michigan. The bay is 32 miles (51 km) long, 10 miles (16 km) wide, and up to 600 ft deep in spots. It is divided into two arms by the Old Mission Peninsula. Traverse City is situated at the south end of the bay where the Boardman River empties into the west arm. Cherry orchards line the bay region, giving rise to Traverse City's claim to be the Cherry Capital of the World.

Known for its shimmering blue water and golden sand beaches, the Grand Traverse Bay region is a popular vacation destination.
