Straits-Main Trail

The Straits State Park Main Trail is a half-mile linear trail (1-mile roundtrip) open to hiking, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. The trail features spectacular views of the Straits of Mackinac and the Mackinac Bridge as it runs through the park. Starting at the viewing platform in the day-use area, the trail includes another observation platform about 100- yards from the trailhead and ends at a viewing area in the upper campground loop. The trail is steep, with hilly, rocky terrain and some steep grades. A portion of the trail coincides with the North Country Trail, and there are typically winter lantern-lit hikes offered a few times throughout the winter.
