About Harbor Springs

Harbor Springs, Michigan, is a charming lakeside town nestled along Little Traverse Bay, offering a serene waterfront and a cozy, walkable downtown lined with boutiques, galleries, and cafes.

01

General Information

Lake Michigan is one of the three ‘Great Lakes,’ and Harbor Springs is on the north shore of sheltered Little Traverse Bay, in Emmet County in the state of Michigan. It is known historically for its summer resorts and an architecturally interesting hexagonally shaped house built in 1892 by an earlier inhabitant, designer of the Shay locomotive, Ephraim Shay (1830-1916).

Before it was known as Harbor Springs, the little bay within a bay was called, L’Arbre de Croche, or ‘Crooked Tree’ by French Catholic Jesuits who started a mission to serve the Odawa people. Later, French traders renamed it Petit Traverse (Little Traverse), and in 1880 it was incorporated as a village and received its current name of Harbor Springs.

Year round, its roughly 1,200 inhabitants experience average summer temperatures in the high 70s Fahrenheit and average winter temperatures hover around 10 degrees and occasionally go below freezing.
