Michilimackinac State Park

Established in 1909, Michilimackinac State Park is Michigan's second state park, with views of the Mackinac Bridge, picnic areas, and two historic sites: Old Mackinac Point Lighthouse and Colonial Michilimackinac. Along with Mackinac Island State Park and Mill Creek State Park, it is under the care of the Mackinac Island State Park Commission. Colonial Michilimackinac is an 18th-century fort and fur trading village where visitors step back to the time of the American Revolution; it has been reconstructed from historic maps and more than 60 years of ongoing archaeological excavations. Old Mackinac Point Lighthouse, established in 1889, served as a guiding beacon for ships passing through the treacherous waters of the Straits of Mackinac, and its restored quarters, exhibits, original lens, historic interpreters, audiovisual program, Shipwrecks of the Straits, and the Straits of Mackinac Shipwreck Museum present its Great Lakes history.
