Plan your trip to Mackinac Island, MI

Mackinac Island, Michigan—an outdoorsman’s paradise. From its annual boat races to its Nordic ski trails, this national landmark takes advantage of the outdoors in all seasons.

Preservation has always been important to this tourist-spot favorite. Walking, biking and horse-driven buggies are the most popular means of travel and complement some of visitors’ favorite recreational activities, including hiking. The city hosts three cross-island races per year.

Immerse yourself in the luxury of the Victorian era at the elaborate Grand Hotel; spoil yourself with a treat from one of the island’s seven fudge companies. Try to catch the Chicago to Mackinac Sailboat Race or the Port Huron to Mackinac Boat Race, then catch a drink with the boaters at local favorite The Pink Pony.
