Rush Hour is a little different on Mackinac Island

No motor vehicles mean no rush hour, no commute, and little pollution. Leave a significant portion of your carbon footprint on the mainland. Walk or ride your bike to get around or hop on a horse-drawn carriage. When you are not trapped in a car, you have an opportunity to appreciate the things around you, like the beautiful lake views and gorgeous trees that make up Mackinac Island State Park.

Mackinac Island is 80% State Park

Things slow down, and you suddenly have a chance to say hello to those you pass on your way to work or to the market. Mackinac Island has a sense of community that simply won’t be found anywhere else. You can be in the woods on a secluded trail in less than ten minutes after work. You can have a rock beach all to yourself if you head a mile out of town on a bike. Mackinac Island is 80% state park, and it is here for all of us to share.
