The North Country Trail goes through the park, a portion of which travels along the park’s 1-mile hiking trail.

The Father Marquette National Memorial tells the story of the 17th-century missionary-explorer and the meeting of French and Native American cultures deep in the North American wilderness. Historical interpretation is provided by the Michigan History Center. Visitors will also enjoy an outdoor interpretive trail, picnicking and a panoramic view of the Mackinac Bridge. The site is open Memorial Day through Labor Day. The memorial is located within Straits State Park, just west of I-75, off U.S. 2.
