The State of Michigan has many unique features that are essentially a complement to the bodies of water that surround it. Sometimes an unplanned turn or unexpected detour will lead you to a new discovery, and something that encourages a sense of wonder. Maybe what you'll discover is naturally occurring, while other things might be man-made, and some of those things might be on this "Page of Wonder."
Two places that happen to be unique in themselves - Michigan's Upper and Lower Peninsulas - happen to share something that makes them more "connected": The Mackinac Bridge.
When you first encounter "The Mighty Mac", there is a certain "Wow!" factor as you approach from the south on I-75. You can see the towers of the bridge before your eyes finally capture the full view of this 5-mile-long suspension bridge. as you drive along the western edge of Mackinaw City.
The immensity of the structure is fascinating as it greets you as it offers you a safe passage over two of the Great Lakes: Lake Michigan and Lake Huron.
Who knew something made of concrete and steel could give such a warm and romantic greeting? But it does.
