Mackinac Island, Michigan
Provided by Mackinac Island Tourism Bureau
SPRING/SUMMER 2008
Horses, History & Hospitality. 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.
Built in 1780, Fort Mackinac attests to Mackinac Island’s important place in American History. The John Jacob Astor Museum celebrates Mackinac Island’s fur trade and its importance in Great Lakes History, the Tower at Mission Point Resort explores the maritime history of our region within the context of America’s creation, Grand Hotel is the architectural icon of the Island, and Surrey Hills Antique Carriage Museum speaks to Mackinac’s historic horse culture. Restrictions on automobiles at the turn of the last century ensure horses are at the forefront of Mackinac Island’s way of life. Over 600 horses are stabled on the Island during the summer months.
As America’s second national park and Michigan’s first state park, Mackinac Island State Park provides opportunities for visitors to experience firsthand the unique features of a northern boreal forest and witness the effects of receding glaciers. Natural landmarks such as the slowly-eroding limestone formations of Arch Rock, Devil’s Kitchen and Sugar Loaf encourage visitors to adopt a system of measuring time in hundreds of years, rather than hours.
Mackinac Island offers outstanding dining, shopping, arts, architecture and nightlife. Resorts, hotels, historic inns, bed & breakfasts, apartments, condominiums, town homes and home rentals offer the amenities travelers have come to expect, from economical to extravagant.
