Mackinac Island Cross Country Skiing
The Mackinac Island Ski club grooms trails on the east and north side of the Island in Mackinac Island State Park.
The cross country ski trails wind through the pristine woods of Mackinac Island State Park and allow the winter visitor to see all of the natural and historical landmarks of the island.
You can follow the ski trails to the interior of the island and take in the vistas from the highest point on the island at Fort Holmes. Or ski through the woods to Arch Rock and enjoy the view of Lake Huron from the bluffs on the eastern side of the island.

The name "Mackinac" or "Michilimackinac" comes from the Anishinaabe tribes, especially the Odawa and Ojibwe, who considered the island sacred. From an aerial view, they believed it resembled a Great Turtle—with the hill as its shell and surrounding parts as limbs. Today, Mackinac Island in Michigan feels like a place where time stands still. Once a military hotspot for the French and British, it now bans cars since 1898—allowing only cycles and horse carriages. Preserved like a living museum, it showcases Victorian-era charm, clean air, and sustainable tourism—proving development and nature can coexist peacefully.

Spent a chilly day off inside the grandhotelmichigan, viewing the dorothydraperco redecorated spaces and rooms during their preview event! Our favorite was definitely the Teddy Roosevelt suite, but I also loved the eerie empty hallways and quiet before the busy season.

When you picture a gorgeous island with clear blue water, does your mind automatically think of Northern Michigan? No? Well... it should!
Mackinac island is near the tippy top of our favorite places we’ve been. There are no cars allowed- and it shows! You don’t realize how much background noise and dirt cars add to our surroundings until you experience somewhere without them. Plan on renting a bike, taking a horse drawn carriage, or just walk! Come for the day on the sheplersferry (like we did) or plan a whole vacation! Stop and see thegrandhotel, restaurants, Bed and Breakfasts, Fort Mackinac, bike trails... there’s so much to do and see.

If you've been to Mackinac Island, hopefully you've been to Watercolor Cafe. It's the cutest cafe and art space next to the marina, and it overlooks the water, the perfect spot to enjoy lunch. One of our favorite things to get there are their Poppies, delicious handmade pastries like in the image above. Although you can't eat the ones you see here because they're made of clay, I highly recommend trying one from Watercolor if you have the chance.
These will be among my Mackinac Island collection, coming soon.

Well, it’s official! I am now the shortest one in our family. Silas just passed me up and I can never keep him in pants that are long enough. 😂 Having three boys has always kept us on our toes and chasing adventure. Anyone else love biking around Mackinac Island? 🙋♀️ The very end of this video we were coming upon the most beautiful cove that inspired one of the paintings in my new Shoreline Collection. Coming 5/20 🌊
Mackinac Island, in the autumn, if you haven't been, definitely go.

The Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island, a National Historic Landmark constructed in the late 19th century, is famous for its historic charm, iconic location, and for having the world's longest front porch at 660 ft. The Grand Hotel has hosted 5 U.S. Presidents and served as the set for the 1980 movie "Somewhere in Time" a romantic fantasy drama starring Christopher Reeve, Jane Seymour and Christopher Plummer. Views from the Grand Hotel of the Mackinac Bridge spanning the Straits of Mackinac connecting the Upper and Lower Peninsulas of Michigan, and of the shipping lanes of the Straits with the Round Island Lighthouse in the distance (images 6, 7). Dining there was like stepping back in time to a bygone era (8). We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Day 2 of my Dimensional Collage class and we worked on so many embroidery techniques today! Finished up for the day and headed out for a brisk and very windy walk along Lake Huron.
If you’re looking for a great quilting/stitching retreat and want to head to the gorgeous Mackinac Island, keep an eye on the lineup of instructors and dates (which will be a little later and probably much warmer next year!!)
