Nestled in the heart of Long Lake near Traverse City, Michigan is the Long Lake Peninsula. A former island and collection of hunting camps, the Long Lake Peninsula Association has been in existence for over 40 years, and, as a private community, owns and maintains all roads and recreational areas.

The LLPA is a diverse group of permanent dwellers (62%) and second home owners (38%). Recreational resources for LLPA members include a park, and beach with boat launch. Please spend some time looking at our site.

A feature that distinguishes us from other communities is  that there is only one road onto Long Lake Peninsula. Thus, traffic is slowed and residents are able to enjoy walking, jogging, biking, rollerblading, and cross country skiing.

When you come on to the peninsula, the road narrows and homes are very close to the road. Please observe the 15 mph speed limit and watch for pedestrians.

As a private community, there is no public access to a beach, boat launch or playground.

New Roads Update

Elmer’s will be here MONDAY, July 1 (weather permitting) to complete the back filling of the roads. If necessary, they will be back next week. We still request that you not drive on the road edges. It wears them down and create problems in the future.

Thank you.

Safety for cars, walkers/runners/dog walkers and bikers

We have lots of walkers and runners on our Peninsula roads and there have been several close calls.

To keep everyone safe we want to remind you the speed limit from the entrance to the top of the hill at the narrows is 15 mph. It is curvy and narrow. The rest of the peninsula is 20 mph.

Please be considerate of your neighbor; walk facing traffic and stay to one side. SLOW DOWN when driving. People driving too fast remains one of the biggest complaints here…and we are growing in numbers and residents.

Rules of the road:

  • Keep safe. Always walk facing traffic. This gives you the best chance to see cars approaching you and drivers can see you.
  • Please teach your children to walk on the correct side, also.
  • When cycling, stay on the right, with the traffic
  • Thank you for driving gently and cautiously and walking safely.
