Sightseeing

This is one of the most beautiful places on earth. With horses and horse drawn carriages only allowed on the island, this is an experience you won’t soon forget. The flowers are worth the trip alone. The island is covered in professionally planted and cared for flowers. Don’t forget to go to Grand Hotel. It costs $10 a person to enter but it’s worth it. And be sure catch the views of the Mackinaw Bridge especially as it lights up at night.

The views of the lake are stunning here. Also there are amazing places to eat. Walk and shop in the quaint down town. Come here every Friday through the summer and enjoy “Stroll the Streets” with music and vendors in the streets for your entertainment. If you are around for the 4th of July these are our favorite fireworks

This is gorgeous to hike up here. There’s a parking place to get close to the overlook but you do have to walk up a little ways. It’s a stunning view and in the fall it’s more amazing.
