Mackinac Island
Mackinac Island, one of the Best Places to Visit in Michigan, appears to have been lifted straight from a children's book. In this area, bicycles and horse-drawn carriages are the only legal modes of transportation. Attend an art exhibit, go kayaking on the water, groove to live music, or simply unwind while listening to the gentle sounds of the waves lapping the shore. Consider joining a walking tour with Mackinac Revealed if you want to discover the island's less well-known places with a native.
Visitors to Mackinac Island will experience a sense of time travel thanks to the island's old-world charm, which includes Victorian architecture and horse-drawn carriages. Since 1898, when cars were made illegal on the island, visitors, or "Fudgies," as the inhabitants refer to them, can only travel there by ferry or plane. Once on the island of Mackinac, travelers can sample some of the fudge that is famous across the world, visit historical sites like Fort Mackinac, and explore the state park that occupies more than 80% of the island. Despite the fact that Mackinac Island is open all year round, keep in mind that many of its attractions are closed in the winter.
