The Mackinaw Recreation program serves all age groups in the community by providing year-round activities for children through baseball, softball, soccer, volleyball and basketball. Most activities encompass children from first grade through eighth grade. Adults can also enjoy a fall Adult Co-Ed softball team. 

All activities include opportunities for parents to volunteer and enjoy quality time with their children. The children’s activities have been very successful, and Mackinaw Recreation has a high level of participation. This is one of the best year-round programs to be found among communities in the area.

The Recreation Program also manages the Brock Lake Facility,
located off Route 9, west of the Village of Mackinaw. The public can fish

year round, or enjoy a picnic in a pavilion. An old railroad bed provides
a flat walking trail adjacent to the hills, while hiking trails wind through
the trees and over the hilltops providing a scenic view of the recreational
complex and lake below.

For more information about the Recreation Program projects and
future offerings, see the Mackinaw Recreation Development Projects
Master Plan (Click on “hiking trails” hyperlink above).
