St Ignace Attractions

St Ignace was founded in 1671 when Father Jacques Marquette established a mission, and a fortress was built shortly after. This strategic location was realized by explorers due to its placement on the north shore of the Straits of Mackinac. The military importance became a thing of the past by 1701 and the mission by 1706.

Today, St Ignace offers golfing, fishing, the Lake Michigan Sand Dunes, and numerous other recreational opportunities.
