Arriving on Mackinac Island is like stepping back in time. A
preserved Victorian era setting, where horse and buggy is still the
norm, the island is home to only 500-600 year round residents.
Roughly 80 percent of the island is a state park, and noted by
National Geographic as one of the top ten state parks in the country.
The downtown district consists of four blocks of shopping and
restaurants, including the fudge shops legendary to the island.
Mackinac Island State Park consists of 1,800 acres of land, covering
most of the island. There are around 70 miles of trails to explore
via foot or bicycle within the park, and rock formations. |
