Mackinac County is located in the Eastern Upper Peninsula and serves as the gateway to the Upper Peninsula as you drive north on the Mackinac Bridge.  Mackinac County is a great place to live and visit. 

Mackinac County is a destination point for tourists interested in culture, history and exploring the outdoors.  It is home to Mackinac Island, Bois Blanc Island and the 36 island archipelago known as the Les Cheneaux Islands.  We are also home to the Mackinac Bridge, the Grand Hotel, the Kewadin Shores Casino, Naubinway Antique Snowmobile Center and the St. Ignace Boardwalk with its many parks and anchored by the recently renovated St. Ignace Marina.

The website is designed to provide residents and tourists with user friendly information and access to services, programs and activities in the county.  You will find information on county departments including the courts, veterans services, and law enforcement.  You will also find information on recreation, county news, health services and so much more.

We invite you to explore Mackinac County through our website and in person.
