Glen Arbor is in Leelanau County, and in the Northern Region. This community is located just northwest of Traverse City between Benzonia and Leland along Highway 72 near Glen Lake and the shore of Lake Michigan.

Glen Arbor Township is situated within the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. Its main community is Glen Arbor, centered between Glen Lake and Sleeping Bear Bay. This area was originally settled by John LaRue, John Fisher, and John Dorsey around 1854. It was given its name after Mrs. Fisher observed a cluster of wild grapes in the tree tops and remarked that it was a "glen arbor" created by nature!
