Straits State Park is located in St. Ignace, Mackinac County, Michigan, on the northern shore of the Straits of Mackinac. The Father Marquette National Memorial and park is located within the park. The park is great place for viewing the Mackinac Bridge. Straits State Park was established in 1924 as a day park.
The park was redesigned in the mid-1940s to include 32 tent campsites on the shores of the Straits of Mackinac. There are three playgrounds in the park. Swimming is allowed in the park, but there is no actual beach area and the coast is quite rocky. The two picnic areas are located near the parking area and playground, and the bridge overlook and they both have several grills, picnic tables, and water fountains. There are several hiking trails through the park.
