About

The Mackinac Bridge, also known as "Mighy Mac" or "Big Mac," stretches some five miles long and connects  Michigan’s upper and lower peninsulas.  Outside a storage facility in St. Louis, Michigan, you can find a miniature replica of the Mackinac Bridge. Though it's more than 200 times smaller than its larger cousin up north.

The Mini Mac Bridge stands about 120 feet long. Instead of the Straits of Mackinac, the Mini Mac runs over a small pond, rising about 20 feet above the water at its highest point. It was built by a private company on private land, but is open for the public to walk over and take pictures.
