Jack Pine Lumberjack Show

Experience World Champion Lumberjacks in a fast paced action packed lumberjack competition, a Mackinaw City MUST SEE! Shows at Jack Pine Lumberjack Shows are approximately an hour long, delivered in a competition format, in which the audience is divided up into two rival logging camps, each camp cheering for their lumberjack. It demostrates the turn of the century skills of the lumberjack including chopping, sawing, axe throwing, cross-cut sawing, speed climbing and logrolling. In addition to the competition, there is also a chain saw carving demonstration. The show educates the audience in the rich history of Michigan's logging past. It is fast paced, up-beat and keeps the audience involved. A fun show for the entire family, children under the age of 5 are free!

This was a favorite of our boys out of all the things we did in the area! They made the show entertaining for everyone, and got the audience involved with cheering for your lumberjack (or booing the “opposing” lumberjack ????). Dakota and Mitchell did an awesome job! Family friendly and wholesome entertainment! Definitely a must see!

Star Line Mackinac Island Ferry

Reviewed By BackRoadsUSA

Solid Operation. Parking attendants kindly pointed out the Free parking lot available behind the brewery which offered safe, ample sized spaces for your car. Bathrooms available near the ticket office though staff unable to keep them clean on a busy Sunday, Ticket agent was short- did not offer us a brochure or map just quickly sold us tickets- never explained how to return or what times-- we were first time visitors. The boarding process was simple- masks were required and there was plenty of space on top to spread out. No one explained safety procedures though. We did take the ferry over that went under the bridge- stunning and staff did warn people on the upper decks they would get wet!

McGulpin Point Lighthouse & Historic Site

Emmet County owns the historic McGulpin Point Lighthouse, which protected shipping on the Straits of Mackinac against storms, fog and rocks between 1869 and 1906. It was purchased by the county in 2008, which reopened McGulpin to the public with a gala celebration on May 30, 2009. The site is approximately 10 acres and is a half mile north of the Headlands. It includes 336 feet of shoreline on the Straits with a commanding view of the Mackinac Bridge. Trail to the Straits includes new interpretive signage coming in Summer 2015! Beautifully maintained grounds and interior. There is always something new at McGulpin Point!

We had 6 women in our group trip to Mackinac. We arrived about 40 minutes prior to the lighthouse opening on Monday morning, before heading home afterwards. While we waited, we walked down to the lake and skipped stones, walked out into the chilly water, and read the history blocks around the lighthouse grounds. The young lady working in the lighthouse that morning was terrific. She was knowledgeable about the lighthouse, it's history, and graciously warned us of the couple "caution" areas during our self-guided tour of the lighthouse. The McGulpin Family history is so interesting. The view from atop the lighthouse is just breathtaking. We were all glad that we took the time to wait until it opened, and didn't just leave! Please visit this lighthouse. You won't be disappointed :)

Shepler's has a terrific partnership with Grand Hotel to make your arrival on Mackinac Island and the Grand as seamless and painless as possible. They unload your luggage for you, and after you have checked into your room, your luggage is in your room. The reverse works as well. You put your luggage outside your room and it shows up in a shed on Shepler's property specifically for Grand Hotel. Parking is expensive at their premium site, but only $5 per day at their off site, where they provide excellent free shuttle service. The boat is fast and comfortable.

Headlands International Dark Sky Park

Reviewed By 7traveler777 - Chicago, United States

I had always wanted to go to a dark park and was thrilled when I saw there was one outside of Petoskey. It’s a lovely place to s t a r g a z e, but if you’re looking to see the northern lights I was told by the attendant that no one has ever seen them in this location even though the park is listed as a location to see aurora borealis. The park attendant advised our party that if we wanted to see the northern lights we should go 300 miles north into Canada for perfect viewing.

Cheboygan Brewing has some great classics and seasonal brews. Try the rooftop seating or carry out. Blood Orange Honey is a good starter.
