Straits State Harbor
Straits State Harbor sits right at the Straits of Mackinac, putting you in one of the most dramatic spots in the Great Lakes — with the Mackinac Bridge looming overhead and the Upper Peninsula just across the water. The setting alone makes it worth the stop, and Mackinaw City's historic downtown, Fort Michilimackinac, and ferry access to Mackinac Island are all within easy reach on foot. The harbor operates seasonally from mid-May through October, so plan your timing accordingly.
