Introducing Straits of Mackinac
This region, between the Upper and Lower Peninsulas, features a long history of forts and fudge shops. Car-free Mackinac Island is Michigan’s premier tourist draw.

One of the most spectacular sights in the area is the 5-mile long Mackinac Bridge (known locally as ‘Big Mac’), which spans the Straits of Mackinac. The $2.50 toll is worth every penny, as the views from the bridge, which include two Great Lakes, two peninsulas and hundreds of islands, are second to none in Michigan.
Remember: despite the spelling, it’s pronounced mac-in-aw.
