Mackinac Trail - Lower Peninsula

Lower Peninsula

In Saginaw, Mackinaw Street closely follows Poole's route in the general direction of present-day Midland until the western city limits, where Mackinaw Street twists north, becoming Mackinaw Road and following a section line into Bay County. Poole's route between Midland and Mackinac follows the Tittabawassee River north, crosses the Au Sable and Thunder Bay rivers, and reaches Lake Huron near present-day Cheboygan.

Roads in the northwest Lower Peninsula that have been associated with the Mackinaw Trail:

• US 31, between Petoskey and I-75 south of Mackinaw City
• US 131, between the Cadillac area and Petoskey
