Aerial Tour of Mackinaw City, Michigan
Mackinaw City is one of those few areas where you can get both the sunset as well as the sunrise over the water. The sun rises over Lake Huron and sets over Lake Michigan.

I went on a sightseeing trip exploring Mackinaw City & Mackinac Island — located on the tip of lower Michigan.
Hey Everyone,
Last summer in June, I went on a sightseeing trip exploring Mackinaw City & Mackinac Island. It's located on the tip of lower Michigan. I really enjoyed this trip. It was a sunny trip with pleasant cooler temperatures. I explored most of the area attractions — Colonial Michilimackinac, Historic Mill Creek Discovery Park, Fort Mackinac, Bridge View Park, Headlands International Dark Sky Park, Old Mackinac Point Lighthouse, McGulpin Point Lighthouse, etc. Seeing the stars at night at the Headlands Dark Sky Park was amazing — something you don't want to miss! Granted, it's not the darkest place to see the night sky. But for the free price and the fact it's open 24/7, makes it worthwhile. Enjoy the video!

Things to Do in Mackinaw City Michigan
Located at the tip of the Lower Peninsula of Michigan, Mackinaw City is a great summer destination in the state of Michigan. With views of the Mackinac Bridge and Mackinac Island within the Straits of Mackinac, there are a lot of things to do in Mackinaw City for tourism such as Colonial Michilimackinac and the Old Mackinac Point Lighthouse. Colonial Michilimackinac has the reconstructed Fort Michilimackinac, originally built by the French, later housed the British army until they moved fort operations to Fort Mackinac on Mackinac Island around 1780. Later, I head into downtown Mackinaw City which is home to many shops, restaurants, and fudge kitchens. For lunch, I stop at Scalawags Whitefish & Chips which is a great takeaway spot for some fresh, fried whitefish and chips.

Mackinac City is on right as we approach the bridge.
Mackinaw City /ˈmækᵻnɔː ˈsɪti/ is a village in Emmet and Cheboygan counties in the U.S. state of Michigan. The population was 806 at the 2010 census; the population surges during the summer tourist season, including an influx of tourists and seasonal workers who serve in the shops, hotels and other recreational facilities there and in the surrounding region. Mackinaw City is at the northern tip (headland) of the Michigan's Lower Peninsula along the southern shore of the Straits of Mackinac. Across the straits lies the state's Upper Peninsula. These two land masses are physically connected by the Mackinac Bridge, which runs from Mackinaw City north to St. Ignace. Mackinaw City is also the primary base for ferry service to Mackinac Island, located to the northeast in the straits.
According to AAA's 2009 TripTik requests, Mackinaw City is the most popular tourist city in the state of Michigan. Local attractions include Fort Michilimackinac, the Mackinac Bridge, the Mackinaw Crossings shopping mall, Mill Creek, the Old Mackinac Point Light, the Historic Village, the McGulpin Point Light, and the retired US Coast Guard Icebreaker Mackinaw.
The official name of the community is The Village of Mackinaw City and as that suggests, it is a village by state law. Mackinaw City is governed by the General Law Village Act, Public Act No. 3, of 1895, as amended. The downtown district and much of the development lie within Mackinaw Township, Cheboygan County, but the larger portion of the village by area is in Wawatam Township, Emmet County, which borders Mackinaw Township to the west.
More Info Here:
The Mackinac Bridge (/ˈmækᵻnɔː/ MAK-in-aw) is a suspension bridge spanning the Straits of Mackinac to connect the Upper and Lower peninsula of the U.S. state of Michigan. Opened in 1957, the 26,372-foot (8.038 km) bridge (familiarly known as Big Mac and Mighty Mac) is the world's 17th-longest main span and the longest suspension bridge between anchorages in the Western hemisphere. The Mackinac Bridge is part of Interstate 75 and the Lakes Michigan and Huron components of the Great Lakes Circle Tours across the straits; it is also a segment of the U.S. North Country National Scenic Trail. The bridge connects the city of St. Ignace on the north end with the village of Mackinaw City on the south.
Envisioned since the 1880s, the bridge was designed by the engineer David B. Steinman and completed in 1957 only after many decades of struggles to begin construction
The bridge opened on November 1, 1957,[4] connecting two peninsulas linked for decades by ferries. A year later, the bridge was formally dedicated as the world's longest suspension bridge between anchorages, allowing a superlative comparison to the Golden Gate Bridge, which had a longer center span between towers, and the San Francisco–Oakland Bay Bridge, which had an anchorage in the middle.
It remains the longest suspension bridge with two towers between anchorages in the Western Hemisphere.[3] Much longer anchorage-to-anchorage spans have been built in the Eastern Hemisphere, including the Akashi Kaikyō Bridge in Japan (12,826 ft or 3,909 m). But the long leadups to the anchorages on the Mackinac make its total shoreline-to-shoreline length of 5 miles (8 km) longer than the Akashi-Kaikyo (2.4 mi or 3.9 km).
The length of the bridge's main span is 3,800 feet (1,158 m), which makes it the third-longest suspension span in the United States and 17th longest suspension span worldwide. It is also one of the world's longest bridges overall.
More Info Here:
Saint Ignace, usually written as St. Ignace, is a city at the southern tip of the Upper Peninsula of the U.S. state of Michigan, bordering the Straits of Mackinac. The population was 2,452 at the 2010 census. It is the county seat of Mackinac County.[6] For travelers coming from the Lower Peninsula, St. Ignace is the gateway to the northern part of the state.
St. Ignace Township is located just to the north of the city, but is politically independent.
Located in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, St. Ignace is at the northern end of the Mackinac Bridge and Mackinaw City is the southern end.
One-third of the population of the city identified as Native American. The Mackinac Bands of Chippewa and Ottawa Indians, a state recognized tribe, is headquartered at St. Ignace, and has bands in several other counties in the region. In addition, the large federally recognized Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians owns and operates a casino on its land in St. Ignace, as well as in four other cities in northern Michigan.
