Mackinac Island draws tons of visitors in the summer, but there are plenty of wooded areas for you to hide away and relax in peace and quiet too. It’s got beaches and forests along the edge of Lake Michigan and a flourishing wine and craft beer scene throughout the state. Michigan is a surprisingly wonderful little slice of the USA. Michigan is a prime vacation destination, with its expanded access to the Great Lakes, some unique big cities, and lots of pristine wilderness.
