Mackinac Bridge

The Mackinac Bridge, affectionately known as ‘Big Mac’ or ‘The Mighty Mac,’ is a remarkable feat of engineering that connects the Upper Peninsula with mainland Michigan, stretching from Mackinaw City to St. Ignace. Spanning an impressive 8,614 feet (2,625 meters), it ranks among the longest suspension bridges in the world. This iconic structure not only serves as a vital transportation link but also stands as a destination in its own right, drawing birders and photographers who come to capture its grandeur and the surrounding natural beauty.
