We left Sault Ste. Marie, MI and drove 62 miles south on I-75 to St. Ignace. If you are going to the Tiki RV Park in St. Ignace, your turn off street is at this Fudge Shop with the lighthouse on top. |
You will also see the Tiki RV Park sign at your turn. |
We wanted to stay in this park for a week, but since we were coming in on the Labor day weekend, we could only stay for 4 nights. We just hate holiday weekends! |
Tiki RV Park office. |
The park is nothing special, except for the location. It is located in the town of St. Ignace. |
After setting up, we drove into the town of St. Ignace for groceries. On the way back to the park on Business 75, I took this picture of the harbor in the town. |
View of the one of the Straits of Mackinac Lighthouse in St. Ignace. |
Be sure to stopped at the St. Ignace Visitor Center to get your maps and information of what is happening during your visit. You can also get discounts for the ferry rides to Mackinac Island. |
Kiwanis Beach is across the street from the visitor center on the main street of the down town of St. Ignace. |
We took the downtown boardwalk along the harbor (After we took the groceries home and picked up Mallery). The water in Lake Huron is also super clear and blue. |
Views across the St. Ignace Harbor. |
The town of St Ignace has a population of 2,452. |
Close up of previous view. |
Along the boardwalk we walked past the marina. |
If you want a place for your picnic lunch, you can stop at the at the Chief Wawatam Park along the boardwalk. |
At the end of the boardwalk is the Chief Wawatam Lighthouse. |
Out beyond the lighthouse is Mackinac island. |
As we backtracked the boardwalk to the visitor center and our car, we walked pass the splash pad where little ones were having fun. |
If you didn't bring your sack lunch, you can always stop and have lunch on the patio of the Mackinac Grille Patio Bar. |
Another view of the city marina, as we continued back to the car. |
The Colonial House Inn Bed & Breakfast and Hotel has water views and is located downtown with walking access to the ferries and shops. Here is a link to the B&B http://www.colonial-house-inn.com/ |
So many of the UP Michigan towns have their streets lined with flowers. |
