Mackinac Island, Michigan
The famous Mackinac Island is on the shores of beautiful Lake Huron, between the Upper and Lower Peninsulas in Michigan, and is one of the most charming towns in the Great Lakes area, chock-full of historic and natural wonders.
The fort itself was constructed in 1780, and the park is home to the oldest house in Michigan, reenactments, and live cannon demonstrations. Other historic sites include stunning and elegant Victorian architecture and cottages that are over 100 years old.
Arch Rock is a geological wonder that’s over 50 feet wide and is the most famous rock formation on Mackinac Island if not the entire state.
