Mackinac Island is located just east of St. Ignace on Lake Huron.
It is northeast of Mackinaw City, between the Lower and Upper
Peninsulas of Michigan.
There are no motor vehicles allowed on Mackinac Island, so in order
to get to Mackinac Island you must travel by ferry or air.
You must first travel to the Mackinac Bridge which is located
either at Mackinac City in the Lower Peninsula of Michigan or St.
Ignace in the Upper Peninsula. From here, scheduled ferryboat service
is available throughout the day. There is plenty of parking available
