Once a Trading Post for Fur Trading

Glen Arbor, where this lake is located, was originally occupied by Native American tribes, but was settled by fur traders in the 1840s.

Glen Lake played a part in the community's lumber and agricultural industries from 1854 through the early 1900s when tourism began to take off.
