A lone sailboat passes the shoreline of Mackinaw Mill Creek Camping. Guests at the camp regularly view lake and oceangoing freighters, pleasure craft and sail boats of all sizes. On May 7 of 1965, in Lake Huron, approximately 1/2 way between Mackinaw Mill Creek Camping and Mackinac Island, the SS Cedarville collided with the Norwegian ship SS Topdalsfjord and sunk, ten of the 35 sailors aboard perished.
