With some terrific road trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to soak up everything that Munising, 50 miles away, has to offer. Grand Island, Wagner Falls and Valley Spur alone make the drive out here worthwhile. Locals will also probably point you in the direction of Mackinaw Township, 55 miles away. If you can only see one thing here, make sure it’s Mackinac Bridge. (But we’re also huge fans of Headlands International Dark Sky Park and Mackinaw City Ferry Terminal.)
