 There’s much more to this quaint island than just the world’s best
fudge. Since no cars are allowed on the island, you must arrive by
ferry or via the 8,614-foot Mackinac Bridge—North America’s longest
suspension bridge that physically connects Michigan’s Upper and Lower
Peninsulas. You can get around the island only by foot, horse carriage
or bicycle. Then there’s the charming, 385-room Grand Hotel with the
world's longest front porch. The 120-year-old, elegant hotel was the
site of the 1979 movie, Somewhere in Time. Be sure to catch the
island’s state park, honored by National Geographic as one of America’s
10 finest. |

sand dunes to abandoned stone quarries—combined with perfect soils and
abundant water have made the area an ideal place for building exciting
golf courses. |
