Driving Over Mackinac Bridge, MI
Driving I75 (Interstate 75) Over Mackinac Bridge, MI In Route To St. Ignace, Michigan
Mackinac City is on right as we approach the bridge.
Mackinaw City /ˈmækᵻnɔː ˈsɪti/ is a village in Emmet and Cheboygan counties in the U.S. state of Michigan. The population was 806 at the 2010 census; the population surges during the summer tourist season, including an influx of tourists and seasonal workers who serve in the shops, hotels and other recreational facilities there and in the surrounding region. Mackinaw City is at the northern tip (headland) of the Michigan's Lower Peninsula along the southern shore of the Straits of Mackinac. Across the straits lies the state's Upper Peninsula. These two land masses are physically connected by the Mackinac Bridge, which runs from Mackinaw City north to St. Ignace. Mackinaw City is also the primary base for ferry service to Mackinac Island, located to the northeast in the straits.
According to AAA's 2009 TripTik requests, Mackinaw City is the most popular tourist city in the state of Michigan. Local attractions include Fort Michilimackinac, the Mackinac Bridge, the Mackinaw Crossings shopping mall, Mill Creek, the Old Mackinac Point Light, the Historic Village, the McGulpin Point Light, and the retired US Coast Guard Icebreaker Mackinaw.
The official name of the community is The Village of Mackinaw City and as that suggests, it is a village by state law. Mackinaw City is governed by the General Law Village Act, Public Act No. 3, of 1895, as amended. The downtown district and much of the development lie within Mackinaw Township, Cheboygan County, but the larger portion of the village by area is in Wawatam Township, Emmet County, which borders Mackinaw Township to the west.

The Mackinac Bridge (/ˈmækᵻnɔː/ MAK-in-aw) is a suspension bridge spanning the Straits of Mackinac to connect the Upper and Lower peninsula of the U.S. state of Michigan. Opened in 1957, the 26,372-foot (8.038 km) bridge (familiarly known as Big Mac and Mighty Mac) is the world's 17th-longest main span and the longest suspension bridge between anchorages in the Western hemisphere. The Mackinac Bridge is part of Interstate 75 and the Lakes Michigan and Huron components of the Great Lakes Circle Tours across the straits; it is also a segment of the U.S. North Country National Scenic Trail. The bridge connects the city of St. Ignace on the north end with the village of Mackinaw City on the south.
Envisioned since the 1880s, the bridge was designed by the engineer David B. Steinman and completed in 1957 only after many decades of struggles to begin construction
The bridge opened on November 1, 1957,[4] connecting two peninsulas linked for decades by ferries. A year later, the bridge was formally dedicated as the world's longest suspension bridge between anchorages, allowing a superlative comparison to the Golden Gate Bridge, which had a longer center span between towers, and the San Francisco–Oakland Bay Bridge, which had an anchorage in the middle.
It remains the longest suspension bridge with two towers between anchorages in the Western Hemisphere.[3] Much longer anchorage-to-anchorage spans have been built in the Eastern Hemisphere, including the Akashi Kaikyō Bridge in Japan (12,826 ft or 3,909 m). But the long leadups to the anchorages on the Mackinac make its total shoreline-to-shoreline length of 5 miles (8 km) longer than the Akashi-Kaikyo (2.4 mi or 3.9 km).
The length of the bridge's main span is 3,800 feet (1,158 m), which makes it the third-longest suspension span in the United States and 17th longest suspension span worldwide. It is also one of the world's longest bridges overall.

Michigan State Parks - With the Beerbellied Travelers - Park Travel Review
We had not gotten to Michigan yet in our adult lives. We were excited to go hike with our friends Dana and Eileen of the Beerbellied Travelers. Find them here:
They planned an epic camping and hiking State Park Adventure for us. By the end we sure felt like we knew more of the meaning of #PureMichigan.
We visited 4 State Parks on our Michigan road Trip. They were: Onaway State Park, Cheboygan State Park, Michilimackinac State Park, and Petoskey State Park. Each had something new and unique for us to see. We had the best time with our friends and can't wait to see them again!

Continuing in my adventure in the Upper Peninsula, I head to Munising, MI to check out the downtown area. Munising is home to the Pictured Rock National Lakeshore which is right along Lake Superior. Although I do not cover it, I definitely recommend the Pictured Rock Boat Cruise which starts in Munising.
Later in the video, I head to the small town of Christmas, MI which is a couple miles northwest of Munising along M-28. Even later, I head to a roadside park which provides a beautiful view of Lake Superior from M-28 on the way to Marquette, MI.

The city run facility allows advanced reservations and provides access to the water, a playground and boardwalk (access for the boardwalk is on the other side of the bridge in to town, US 2). Restrooms with showers are available as is a large covered pavilion and small laundry room.
The park has all paved roads with concrete pads. The RV sites have excellent spacing and privacy from natural trees that were undisturbed during development. The parking pads are plenty long for even the largest RVs and each RV site has room for a second car. The tent sites are nicely spaced also and have a private feel tucked in to the trees; the tent sites have an electric pedestal at the site which is a special treat not normally found in these types of sites. All sites have picnic tables and fire rings. A small office is located near the entrance for checking in and information.
All of the facilities in Manistique Lakeshore Campground are top notch and the location is an excellent example of a municipality doing things right. Take advantage of availability before the public at large discovers the location; once that happens the park will booked all season long.
Located just off US 2 west of town the public park nightly rates range from $25 for tent sites up to $50 per night for the lake view pull thru sites.

UAW BLACK LAKE - Area Attractions
uawblacklake.com
The Center's prime location is a gateway to some of the region's most popular area attractions.
Onaway is a sportsman's paradise and a nature lover's dream. The area is home to thousands of acres of northern Michigan state forest recreation areas, fishing, hunting and inland lakes. The city is surrounded by thousands of acres of Mackinaw State Forest, and the scenery is breathtaking. Watching leaves change as the seasons fold one after the other, is a worth the time spent at the Center.
Onaway is an all-season, inside and outdoor, recreation destination. It's also just a short jaunt from Burt Lake, Mullet Lake and Michigan's popular Inland Waterways. Onaway is only five miles from its namesake's state park and Black Lake, which is teeming with excellent walleye, bass and perch fishing.
Located in the northeast, lower-peninsula of Michigan, Onaway sits on the western edge of Presque Isle County and is just a short drive from Black Mountain State Forest Recreation Area, Ocqueoc Falls, Petoskey, Charlevoix, the Mackinac Bridge and so many other area attractions. It is 18 miles east of I-75, 22 miles west of Lake Huron, 45 miles southeast of the Straits of Mackinac and 265 miles north of Detroit.
The Black Lake Golf Club is a premier course designed by architect Rees Jones.
While many courses have two or three so-called signature holes that are worthy of brochure status, every hole at Black Lake Golf Club could easily be on the cover of a magazine promoting the course.
That is one reason it was ranked 34th in Golf Digest's
100 Greatest Public Courses in America in May 2009 and ninth in the Best Value
category.

There's not many places that you can get a million dollar view for a buck, but this is one of them. Just north of downtown St. Ignace is Castle Rock, a local landmark that you can actually climb to the top of. It's good exercise, great family fun, and the views are incredible. You can see about 15 miles on a good clear day and view lots of trees and forests, lake Huron to the east, Mackinac Island, and the top of the Mackinac bridge towers are viewable.
