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.

Mackinac Island is one of the premiere wedding venues and the country for good reason period. #weddings #cameramall #mackinacisland
When you’re writing in a book series set on an island with horse drawn carriages, no cars, and unbelievably charming houses and lake views, it only makes sense to spend a magical weekend visiting said island.
Mackinac Island is everything and more than what I hoped it would be! And now I can’t wait to dive into plotting this next book ☺️

“Northern Beckoning”
My wife had never seen the Mackinac Bridge at night, so after a long day on the island we stayed at rivieramotmackinaw with a dazzling view of the bridge and right on the beach. On an evening walk I noticed a suspicious haze in the sky above the bridge. Confirming with my phone’s camera, we realized we were seeing northern lights! With childlike amazement, we watched them evolve from a light haze to a full on, pulsating solar storm with pillars stretching to the heavens, clearly visible to the naked eye. We saw some of the most beautiful places in Michigan—and the world—throughout our road trip, but the sheer luck, surprise and beauty of this moment stole our hearts on the first day.

On an Autumn day on Mackinac Island, Michigan, a group of cyclists rides along the lakeside path bordered by large rocks and an expanse of Lake Michigan. The lush greenery and blue sky contribute to the serene atmosphere.

Have you been to Ach Rock on mackinacisle ? Comment below⬇️
A “dramatic remnant from the time of the glaciers is Arch Rock on the island's eastern shore. This arch sits 146 feet above the current shoreline of Lake Huron because it formed during the Nipissing stage when Lake Huron was much higher than today during the end of the Wisconsin glaciation. The arch persists despite being composed of Mackinac breccia. Typically, limestone breccias are not an ideal material to form arches or natural bridges due to their high weathering rates.” (Brandes, pg 82)
