5 Must-See Spots On Mackinac Island, Michigan
Brandi Reiser

Everyone has a favorite vacation spot. Just thinking about this vacation spot automatically just makes people happy. For me, my favorite place up until this point in my life is Mackinac Island. There are so many things to see on this wonderful island that you can’t see it all in a day.

It has taken me several trips to the island and every time I stumble across something new on the island that I had heard about but had never seen. Of course, I have some favorites on this beautiful island and if you tell me that you are going on a trip to the island these are some of the spots that I will recommend that you stumble across because they are just so beautiful.

1. Anne’s Tablet

This is one of the best views that I have seen of the island! You are out-of-the-way of the main street and all the hustle and bustle of the crowded main and market streets. From here you can see the lake and the downtown area. But don't step inside the horseshoe shape on the ground. There's a legend that if you step in the horseshoe you will have bad luck!

2. Fort Holmes

It’s a bit of a hike to get here and it is the highest point on the island. You can see everything from here! Now you have to be willing to take the hike out here and up or down the 200+ stairs But the pictures from here are so worth it and it was just rebuilt in 2015 after a fire happened!

3.Crack in the island

Yup, you read that right! There is literally a crack in the island and you can climb down in it because in some places it is as deep as three or four feet deep! If you go here you have to get a picture of you or someone who you are exploring the island within the crack!

4.The "Somewhere In Time" Gazebo

If you have yet to see "Somewhere In Time," I recommend that you see it, and then go find this Gazebo next to the state park office up the hill from downtown. It is also located not far from Anne’s Tablet, so after you see Anne's Tablet, take the quick walk here.

5.Point lookout

From here you can see sugar-loaf and this is a beautiful place in the fall when the leafs are starting to change. This is another spot that you have to be willing to climb up a bunch of stairs to get to but it's another one that is totally worth it!

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
