Saturday, Sep 19th-Oct 19th, 2026

Mackinaw's fall foliage is world-renowned for its beauty and richness of color. Our area is among the most heavily forested in the U.S., and maple trees make up significant pieces of our woods, so when their leaves begin to turn from green to red, orange and yellow, the landscapes become breathtaking works of art. Planning a fall foliage trip to Mackinaw? You'll be glad you did. Check out our www.mackinaw-city.com as you plan so once you get here, you can focus on the scenery. Advance reservations are strongly recommended during the foliage season, especially for the busy weekends.
