We drove to Saint Ignace in the U.P. today and took a ferry to Mackinac Island, where we spent the day being tourists - nice lunch at the popular Sea Biscuit (race horse) restaurant, followed by a long walk along the shore and then some mighty good ice cream.
Mackinac Island sits in Lake Huron, between Michigan’s Upper and Lower peninsulas. Mackinac Island State Park, with trails, woods and the limestone Arch Rock formation, covers most of the island. Founded in 1780, Fort Mackinac is a walled cluster of military buildings on a coastal bluff. The Richard and Jane Manoogian Mackinac Art Museum has local works, including Native American art, maps and 19th-century photos.
