Need an escape? Few places are better for it than on an island seemingly untouched by the hectic world around it. On Mackinac Island, visitors can enjoy the simplicity of life and immerse themselves in a foregone era, with horse-drawn carriages and early 19th century architecture being among the defining characteristics that greet travelers upon their arrival. From equestrians to historians to sailors to bikers, there’s something fantastically memorable here for everyone.
Crossing the Mackinac Bridge to Michigan’s upper peninsula, there are spectacular views of the straits connecting Lake Michigan to Lake Huron. Travel west to find beautiful sand beaches running for miles along Highway 2.
Also near Mackinaw City, the 600 acre Headlands International Dark Sky Park is open daily. Visitors can stay through the night for dark sky viewing along the Lake Michigan shoreline. Free public programs take place throughout the season.
