What people say

"Arch Rock is one of Mackinac Island's most iconic natural landmarks, offering breathtaking views and a striking geological formation. This natural limestone arch rises 146 feet above the ground and spans 100 feet across, creating a dramatic and picturesque sight. Visitors can access Arch Rock via a scenic walk or bike ride along the island’s well-maintained trails, or by taking a horse-drawn carriage tour. The viewing platform at the top provides panoramic vistas of the island and Lake Huron, making it a popular spot for photography and sightseeing. Arch Rock is easily reachable from the main areas of Mackinac Island, and it’s a must-see attraction for anyone exploring the island’s natural beauty."
"With 207 steps up to the top, you'll want to take your time getting to the top. But the views are well worth it. Hiking trails are also in the area for some extra exploring. "
