One of the most famous sights in Mackinaw City is the Mackinac Bridge. This spectacular bridge spans the Straits of Mackinac and connects the Lower Peninsula’s Mackinaw City with the Upper Peninsula’s St. Ignace. Mackinac Island visitors can reach the island by one of three Mackinaw City ferry lines.
