Bike, roller skates and scooters aren’t allowed on sidewalks in Traverse City’s core downtown area. But some appear when foot traffic is light.
Fishtown afternoon

A fish tug sits at dock in Fishtown in Leland.
Fishtown is an authentic remnant of history, a collection of structures grouped around the river mouth in Leland Harbor, which has been home the last few years to a variety of businesses that depend on tourists. At last inspection, there were a candy store, several clothing shops, a cheese and sandwich shop, some gift shops, and a shoe store.
Just down the dock is the office of the company that shuttles passengers to both North Manitou Island and South Manitou Island.
And a few steps away, you’ll find downtown Leland, with a couple of blocks of shops and restaurants.
