If you would like to get an up close look at the bridge then it is recommended that you participate in the annual Bridge Walk. This walk is always on Labor Day from 7am-11am and they will shut down one lane to designate to the walkers. The waterway below the bridge is the Straits of Mackinac and also contains the very popular Mackinac Island. For a weekend adventure take the ferry over to Mackinac Island to eat some of their locally made fudge, take a ride on a horse drawn carriage and view the many attractions that this island has to offer. Mackinac County also has miles of sand dunes to explore where you are able to swim in Lake Michigan.
