For good reason, most everyone that visits Mackinaw City also visits this free park at the very tip of Michigan’s Lower Peninsula and at the southern end of the Mackinac Bridge, which offers excellent views of the bridge, the Straights of Mackinaw and Mackinac Island in the distance. In addition to the views, the park has a sandy beach, accessible walk along the shore, picnic tables, restrooms and free parking and provides access to the Old Mackinaw Point Lighthouse and Colonial Michilimackinac, both of which do require an entrance fee.

Michilimackinac 1778: Rumors of War. Treasures from the past come to life at this 18th-century fort and fur trading village, reconstructed based on historic maps and more than 60 years of archaeological excavations. As you walk through the site, you are stepping back in time to 1778, when rumors of war and peace swirled around Michilimackinac. Here, you will see and hear how soldiers, civilians, and Native people responded to threats real and imagined as they attempted to maintain their livelihood, the fur trade. Historical interpreters representing voyageurs, British soldiers, and French-Canadian merchant families are stationed throughout the fort to answer your questions and perform demonstrations.

The park itself was open, but the entire campground was closed for construction. It was pretty awesome as there were hardly any people there. We had the whole beach to ourselves on Friday and mostly Saturday too. They were plenty of picnic tables that were well kept and grills for cooking on. The beach was very clean as was the water.

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.

The Park, and its namesake's history, were pointed out to us on the Mackinac City trolley tour. We stopped by later; to enjoy the views and relaxing atmosphere of the area; as well as the statue of WaWatam, and his story. This is well-maintained little park; providing a wonderful retreat for the citizens of and visitors to Mackinac City.
