Mackinac Island is perhaps best known for its Grand Hotel, where Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour rekindled their age-old love in the iconic film “Somewhere in Time.” But the waterfront haven is a natural gem as well. Venture past the downtown area featured in the film, and you’ll find Mackinac State Park, a wooded retreat filled with ample space to wander and views you won’t forget when you do so. Anne’s Tablet Trail is one such place. Hike the relatively easy trail, or travel it by mountain bike. It features the 1916 bas-relief sculpture Anne’s Tablet and leads to a striking view of Lake Huron and the quaint little village on its shores.
