About Fort Michilimackinac State Park

A National Historic Landmark designation applies to Fort Michilimackinac, the reconstructed outpost preserved within this park along the Straits of Mackinac. The grounds also hold the Old Mackinac Point Lighthouse and its adjoining signal tower, which houses a foghorn. Together these structures mark the site as a place tied to both military history and maritime navigation on the straits.

Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
