Description of the Location:
Mackinac Island is America’s summer place: a mix of Victorian charm; sweet chocolate fudge; rich history and pure northern Michigan magic. It’s a place for meandering hikes to a historic fort, a bike ride along a scenic coast, yacht races, ferry boat rides and fun. Unforgettable sunsets, awe-inspiring sunrises and extraordinary nightlife befit their ranking as a Top 10 U.S. Island by TripAdvisor and USA Today.
