Sitting in Lake Huron, Mackinac Island is a tiny island with plenty of charm. Many people find it too cold to participate in watersports over the Thanksgiving weekend, but you can still explore Fort Mackinac, admire the artwork at the local art museum, and visit the island's fudge factory. There are no cars on the island, but you can easily get around by foot, by bicycle, or even by electric scooter. Another popular option is to take a tour of the island in a horse-drawn carriage; led by knowledgeable guides, these tours provide a unique insight into the island's culture and history.
