Explore Mackinaw City, Michigan

Mackinaw City’s location at the most Northern tip in the lower peninsula is the perfect destination for visitors. With Lake Michigan on one side and Lake Huron on the other side, this is a true Great Lakes highlight.

The pride and joy of Mackinaw City is the Mackinac Bridge–it’s amazing! This spectacular bridge spans the Straits of Mackinac and connects the Lower Peninsula’s Mackinaw City with the Upper Peninsula’s St. Ignace.

Mackinaw City ferry lines transport passengers to Mackinac Island, where there is no vehicle traffic, but much to explore by walking, biking, or horses.

This is a region that is rich in history. Colonial Michilimackinac, a 1770’s era fort and fur trading center, has been restored and reconstructed to offer a glimpse of life 240 years ago. Historic Mill Creek Discovery Park and the Old Mackinac Point Lighthouse complete the historic offerings in Mackinaw City. Mackinaw City is not just about summer!
