  Sugar
Loaf Rock
Sugar Loaf Rock, a limestone formation created when
the waters of Lake Huron receded in the geological beginnings of Mackinac
Island, rises 79 feet above the ground at its base. According to Native
American mythology, Sugar Loaf was the wigwam of the Great Spirit, Manabozho.
Another legend refers to swarms of bees that once inhabited the rock and
filled every nook and crannies with sweet honey.
Point Lookout, a high cliff to the west of Sugar Loaf, provides a breathtaking
view of the rock formation, the east side of the Island, and St. Martin's
Bay to the north of Mackinac.
