Fort Michilamackinaw in Mackinaw City; Fort Mackinac on the island. Grayling has a wonderful state/national? forest, Hastings, I believe. Has the only virgin pines left in the state. Great logging exhibits. Gaylord has a great animal museum, Call of the Wild, I think it's called. Mackinaw City has a bridge museum on the upper floor of a pizza parlor right downtown. Just east is Cheboygan where there is Sawmill Creek, I believe that's the name. Nice place for seeing what life was like. On the way up the lake beaches and beaches and beaches! Shops of all kinds in the towns along the way. Pick cherries, blueberries, peaches, apples. Michigan is a grand place for family vacations. And I don't work for Michigan tourism! ;- )
