There is nothing quite like the Mackinac experience; a vacation with no automobiles, waking up to the gentle clip clop of horses and buggies amidst the fresh air, soft lake breezes and the beauty of nature surrounding everything and everyone.
Travelers enjoy leisurely carriage tours, butterfly conservatories, hiking, biking and trail riding though Mackinac State Historic Park to view the striking natural wonders. Sailing, lighthouse tours, parasailing and biplane tours offer panoramic vistas from which to view the breathtaking island views.

Spring on Mackinac Island offers blue skies, crisp temperatures and the promise of a new season. A spring getaway to Mackinac Island is great for those looking for a quiet getaway, hiking in the state park and reconnecting with nature. Seasonal businesses open their doors from late April to early May and things really kick off Mother’s Day Weekend.

The Dog and Pony Show celebrates Mackinac Island’s canine and equine friends and the Lilac Festival Grand Parade is one of the largest festival parades in Michigan.
