Discover Mackinac Island

Just ferry boats arriving at the dock or flights to the Island via Fresh Air Aviation and North Country Aviation. Horse-drawn carriages and tandem bicycles rolling through town. Molten fudge layered on marble slabs.

A new travel season is dawning on Mackinac Island with unforgettable sunsets and all the familiar sights and sounds, from the soothing clip-clop of horse hooves to the boom of cannon fire at Fort Mackinac.
