It’s sort of high. Yes, it’s lots of fun. I enjoyed it.

The Mackinac Bridge is only 200 feet above the water.

Sort of???
200 feet is more than 10 stories up. On a bridge where I can’t pull over or turn around and can’t see shit at night, with a height phobia? Forget it Lol

Well, it's a bridge. It's five miles long. It's not going to be 10 feet above the water. But, if you still want to visit Mackinac Island, you can take a ferry from the shore without crossing the bridge.

I was petrified going across it because there was nowhere to stop or pull over and it was really long. Yikes!

The Mackinac bridge connects the upper and lower peninsulas of Michigan. Ferry or plane is the only way to get to Mackinac Island and there are no cars allowed on the Island. That bridge is very high and 5 miles long and I had to drive it once myself when it was raining. I always stay on the inside lane if I have to drive it. They do have a service you can pay to drive your ca r for you if you can't bring yourself to drive it. It closes if winds are too high.
