Mackinac Island attracts visitors from around the world to experience interesting history, inspiring natural beauty, and fantastic geological features. Some are well known, others not so much. Others are only briefly mentioned, like the Musical Well of Mackinac Island.
Some 11,000 years ago, only the highest point of Mackinac Island stood above the water, being about ½ mile long and nearly ¼ mile wide.
