Any "must see" areas in the GreatL Lakes region?

Driving from Accord, NY to Mackinac Island area this July. I heard Mackinac Island is cool. My rv is 24 ft long and pulling a small car. Any rv parks near the ferry station? I know cars are not allowed on the island. Should I go up the coast and avoid I 75? What about the other lakes? How often does the ferry go back and forth? Any rv parks I should stay in along the water? have 2 dogs that travel with us. Anything helps. Thanks!

    ok...the obvious. Gotta cross the bridge. That thing is amazing. I crossed it years ago in a tractor-trailer, they made me go something like 15 mph, so I had plenty of time to be amazed.

    A trip down 23 will net a lot of interesting small shops if you are into the family run what-not shacks. Very scenic, even when you can't see the lake.

    Mill Creek RV Park. About a mile from downtown Mackinaw City.
    I-75 from Saginaw to Mackinaw is no problem unless it's a holiday weekend. However US23 along the coast is very scenic but much slower.
