Vacations and weekend get aways are a great time to take part in a variety of activities. In Mackinaw City and Northern Michigan, you can fill your day with everything from a picnic on the beach in the summer, to biking in the fall, to downhill skiing in the winter, to hunting for mushrooms in the spring.
Mackinaw City is the place to try new things! Rent a bike or a kayak, go snow tubing, attend a concert or an art fair, or play a round of golf with friends. History? We have lots of it to learn and explore.
From dawn to dusk, it is here for you to enjoy in Mackinaw City.
