Cross In The Woods National Shrine
7078 M-68largest cross in the world!
Great location and photo friendly. Stroll along park on south side of the bridge. Good shopping downtown. Try Scalawags or Darrow's Family Restaurant for lunch for great fish. We like the fudge and popcorn. We have shipped them all over the world.

Nice day trip. To get there quickly, do not take a ferry from Mackinaw City. Go across the bridge to St. Ignace and take one of the jet boat ferries. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubpcGtozklY
