Each year in October we set our imaginations on fire with a one-mile candlelit walk through the dark woods and to the stars during our annual Headlands Challenge. Once you’ve conquered the trail, Destiny is there to greet you with your fortune, while refreshments brew over the bonfire, and the magic of story and mischievous games await.
The International Dark Sky Park is located about two miles west of downtown Mackinaw City in northwest lower Michigan.
From downtown Mackinaw City, head west on Central Avenue — the main street through the downtown. Take it as far as it goes, to the T-intersection at Headlands Road. Turn left, or south, on Headlands Road. The Headlands will be a short ways down (about two blocks) on your right. Look for the sign at the entrance.
