Linking Michigan's two peninsulas, this mighty bridge has a total length of five miles.

We went over the bridge once in the evening and then in the afternoon a few days later. The bridge towers high above the straits separating Lake Michigan from Lake Huron, and is several miles long. There are viewpoints along the shoreline at either end of the bridge. We stopped at on on the St Ignace side at a gift shop with a viewing platform. The speed limit on the bridge is 25 mph, so there is plenty of time to enjoy the view while driving over. The toll is $4 each way for a passenger car. There are two lanes in each direction with the center lanes made of steel grating which makes a humming sound as you drive. The outer lanes are paved. At night the bridge is lit with lights, for a good evening view. With its tall support towers and long suspension span (longest in North America) the bridge is an engineering marvel that connects the upper and lower peninsulas of Michigan.

Very nice place to explore and fun for all ages. Albino deer are so neat to see and feed. Our little grand daughter wants to visit everytime they come to the Upoer Peninsula.

The parking is hard to see, it's in the same lot as the Mackinac Grille restaurant. There is a nice park and a short easy boardwalk out to the lighthouse.
