Where Should I Stay?

Camille & Scott will be staying at Mission Point Resort throughout the week. There is a block reserved at Mission Point for the guests.

Question

What Is The Weather Like In The Summer ?

Answer

Like you might expect for an island in the northern US, Mackinac Island has warm and comfortable summers. Most people visit between Memorial Day and Labor Day partly because everything is open but mainly because the weather is perfect. Summers typically have highs in the 70s and lows in the 50s. The long summer days are usually sunny – Mackinac Island has less than 2 inches of rain every month in the summer. Even though it’s not overly windy, there’s a steady breeze on the island, and it blows that cool lake air year-round.
