Manitou Passage

Manitou Passage is a navigable Lake Michigan waterway separating North and South Manitou Island from mainland Michigan.[1][2] The passage—used by deep-draft lake freighters—is located in Leelanau County and is within the Manitou Passage Underwater Preserve.

John F. Kennedy's president yacht S/Y Manitou was named after Manitou Passage.[3]
