Mackinac Island
Once a national park, now a state one, Mackinac Island is a fascinating destination on Lake Huron in Michigan, bristling with history. A statue and small park honor Father Jacque Marquette, who founded a Jesuit Mission on the Island in 1670-71. During the War of 1812, Americans invaded and attempted to take the island from the British. The attack failed, but the US got the island back in the Treaty of Ghent. There are over 70 miles of trails to explore by foot, bike or horseback. Be sure to check out the Native American Cultural History Trail.
