Mackinac Island is an idyllic island vacation destination where time has stood still and motor vehicles are not permitted. Here you can explore 70 miles of walking, hiking, or biking trails or try a variety of water sports on the calm waters of Lake Huron. Equestrians have 40 miles of bridle paths and mounts are available from Jack’s Livery Stables or the Grand Hotel Stable.

Popular activities include exploring the beautiful coastline on a Great Turtle Kayak Tour, seeing the island highlights on a Mackinac Island Carriage Tour, and visiting historic Downtown Mackinac where several historic buildings are open to the public.
