On land, the rail economy is represented by the Pennsylvania and New York Central lines, terminating near the waterfront. Local landmarks such as La Salle High Sch and the Tollgate at the bridge entrance provide fine-grained detail for genealogists and local historians. Large-scale conservation efforts are evident in the surrounding Hiawatha National Forest and Mackinac Island State Park, which preserves the island's unique character as seen during this period of growing regional tourism.
