Among the cities of Michigan, Saint Ignace stands out for its position on the Straits of Mackinac, where Lake Michigan meets Lake Huron. On the Upper Peninsula shore, it faces the five-mile Mackinac Bridge, which has linked Saint Ignace with Mackinaw City on the Lower Peninsula since 1957. The city’s roots reach to 1671, when French Jesuit Jacques Marquette established the Mission of St. Ignace. Ferries leave the waterfront for car-free Mackinac Island, known for Fort Mackinac and its 19th-century resort heritage.
