This is Mackinac Island State Park, a landscape characterized by high limestone bluffs, beautiful vistas of sparkling water, vibrant forests, and mystical geological formations. With automobiles banned since 1898, here exists a quieter way of life away from interstate noise of cities. Over 80 percent of Mackinac Island is within Mackinac Island State Park—free of charge and open year round—where you’ll discover the true natural gems of Mackinac. Whether visiting this island parkland by foot, bike, horseback, or carriage, these many majestic geological wonders and unique historical monuments are visual treasures found only here—on the island sacred to the Ojibwa and Odawa Great Lakes Indian tribes. According to them, this is where life began. You’re invited to discover why.

"Young, fun college aged kids with a good sense of humor took us up the hill and shared the history of the island and its residents. We all enjoyed the views and narrated history. Flowers, birds, cemeteries and Arch Rock are all a part of the tour. We got off at the fort, did that tour and walked ..."back down the hill.

"Many great stories on the narrated carriage ride for the history of Arch Rock. An interesting formation with a view through to the water. Easily accessible with stairs and decking. "
