After rounding Mission Point, M-185 continues north-northwesterly along the eastern shore of Mackinac Island, first passing Dwightwood Spring then the Arch Rock viewing area just beyond the mile 1 marker.
The next two miles (3.2 km) of M-185 are relatively isolated and devoid of major landmarks as the highway rounds Hennepin Point and runs along Voyageur's Bay.
Other than a few picnic tables, the only feature between Arch Rock and mile 3 is the Lake Shore Nature Trail, a short interpretive trail on the inland side of the road.
Just beyond mile 3, Scott's Shore Road, a short gravel-surfaced connecting roadway between Lake Shore Road and Scott's Road, departs inland near Point St. Clair.
M-185 is bounded by the interior woods on one side and the beaches and rocky shores on the other through this area.

Mile 4 is situated at Point aux Pins at the northernmost point of the island.
Here, M-185 turns southerly, passing the state boat dock and a nature center before coming to British Landing at the intersection with British Landing Road.
The area is a popular stopping point for tourists biking or walking M-185; it is the location where British troops came ashore during the Battle of Mackinac Island during the War of 1812.
Located around British Landing are various amenities including restrooms, picnic tables, and a concession stand.
M-185 continues along Maniboajo Bay and passes the mile 5 marker near Radisson Point.

The next area along M-185 is also sparsely developed as it passes along Griffin Cove.
Other than a few newer residential developments, the sights are limited to Brown's Brook, which features a picnic area and interpretive nature trail, and the views of the Mackinac Bridge as the trunkline rounds both Heriot and Perrot points.
Between the markers for miles 6 and 7 is Devil's Kitchen, another popular tourist stopping point, at Jacker Point.
Near mile 7 is the West Bluff Stairs leading up the bluff to Pontiac's Lookout.
Further along, there is a marker commemorating the filming of a scene from Somewhere in Time as well as views of the Grand Hotel.
The building's 660-foot-long (200 m) front porch is promoted as the "longest in the world".
Visible to the east of the hotel is Michigan's second Governor's Mansion, which is used as a summer retreat for the state's chief executive.
At this point, M-185 transitions back to the more developed portion of the island and the road name for the trunkline changes back to Main Street.
Next to the roadway, a boardwalk runs from here into the downtown business district.
