Review & FAQ:

St. Ignace is located on an isthmus off the northern shore of the Mackinac Straits and is surrounded by water on three sides, making this little town the perfect destination for anyone interested in water sports. You can parasail over the bay, fish for your dinner, or take a Great Lakes Boat Tour to visit some of the many islands, each of which has its own special charm.

If you prefer to stay on land you can go hiking along the North Country Trail or in the Hiawatha National Forest, visit the Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum and Whitefish Point Light Station, the Fort De Buade Museum, the Garlyn Zoological Park, or Indian Village.
