Huron Road Pavilion Private Events

Huron Road Pavilion Private Events

The Huron Road Pavilion is located next to Fort Mackinac and just down the path from the Somewhere in Time Gazebo. While the fort and Scout Barracks are nearby, the pavilion is shielded by a dense patch of forest. There are several picnic tables under the pavilion, but the park also has round banquet-style tables available. Restrooms are also located at the pavilion.
