Mackinac Island, Michigan

The American state of Michigan's Mackinac County contains the city of Mackinac Island. The city had 470 residents who lived there permanently as of the 2020 Census. Due to an influx of tourists and hundreds of seasonal workers, the population reaches tens of thousands from May 1 to November 1.

The allure of Mackinac Island, its enchanted sunrises and sunsets, and its delectable fudge entice tourists by boat and plane to northern Michigan for leisurely travel. Mackinac Island is situated on Lake Huron between Michigan's higher and lower peninsulas. The state park covers more than 80% of the car-free island, replacing the roadways with walking paths. The island is renowned for its absence of chain hotels and its abundance of quaint inns, independent shops, and regional eateries. Visitors can travel on foot or in a charming horse-drawn carriage.

Ferries across Lake Huron are used to access the island. One of seven municipalities in the state of Michigan, along with the townships of Grosse Ile, Drummond, Bois Blanc, St. James, Peaine, and Sugar Island, is the city of Mackinac Island.
