About Mackinac Island

Mackinac Island is located in the straits of Mackinac, where Lake Michigan and Lake Huron meet between Michigan’s
Upper and Lower Peninsulas.

In 1898, the city of Mackinac banned horseless carriages and today the same is true. Transportation is by horse and
carriage, bicycle or feet which lends to the charm of Mackinac Island.
