Three+ museum exhibits, many houses you can walk through. Playground for the kids.
Picnic area, restrooms, close up view of Bridge and souvenir shop are in area before you have to pay and worth a stop even if you can't get to fort.
We love stopping here when we stay in Mackinaw City. There is a great view of the Mackinac bridge and the light house. You can go inside the light house and walk around. They also have a little shop in there the beach is beautiful and you can see Mackinac Island from there. Don't miss out on this if you are in the area
This is an interesting park under the bridge that gives you the unique perspective for great photos. The little shop is fun but be prepared for a rocky beach and cold water so swimming isn't much fun. Stop, take a few photos, grab a souvenir and keep heading north!
Staff in historic clothing do presentations all day long, or you can just wander through the historically accurate restored 1770s era fort.
We did not go through the fort but strolled the park with our two dogs. Their are many informative postings through out plus the old light house which one can climb to the top if able. This was used before the bridge was built in 1957 at the cost of 100,000 million dollars. The bridge has its own fog horn system.
Just like stepping back in time. No motor driven vehicles. Loved the carriage tour. best way to see the island.
