Mackinac County, Michigan
At the very tip of Michigan’s Lower Peninsula, sits Mackinac County. This is a land of bridges, ferries, and fudge. It’s home to the iconic Mackinac Bridge, a five-mile marvel spanning the Straits of Mackinac.
The star attraction is undoubtedly Mackinac Island. Since 1901, cars have been banned here. That means horse-drawn carriages rule the roads.
History comes alive at Fort Mackinac, a restored 18th-century fortress. Mackinac County delivers on its promise as a top county of Michigan. Just be prepared for your sweet tooth to go into overdrive with all that famous fudge.
