Save this for your next trip to Michigan😍
If you’re taking a trip to Michigan, make sure you add Mackinac Island to your list. This is Arch Rock located on the island. It’s made from natural limestone and stands 146ft above the water. The water color is incredible too. It’s free to visit once you’re already on the island.
