Mackinac Island Is located in Lake Huron. To get to this beautiful place you can take a ferry from the Michigan mainland at Mackinaw City on the lower peninsula or from St.Ignace on the upper peninsula. Once you are on the island your only modes of transportation will be a bike, horse drawn carriage or your feet. There are no motorized vehicles allowed on the island.
"The first thing you will notice when you step foot onto our beautiful Island is the absence of automobiles. (Some find this ironic, seeing how Michigan revolutionized the world with the automobile.) Initiated in 1898, this ban on automobiles has resulted in clean, noise-free air and a quaint, village ambiance filled with the soft clopping of horses. Just like yesteryear, you’ll get around by foot, bike, horseback or horse-drawn carriage." Text Source: (
