The natural wonders of Mackinac Island have drawn people to its rocky shores for thousands of years. There are stories of fantastic discoveries as well – including, perhaps, most enticing of all – tales of large caverns beneath the island’s surface.
Some 11,000 years ago, only the highest point of Mackinac Island stood above the water, being about ½ mile long and nearly ¼ mile wide. For many generations, Native Americans have referred to this high point as the Turtle’s Back, as its domed shape creates the perception of a giant turtle floating on the water.
