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.

Happy Somewhere in Time Day! 💞#janeseymour #christopherreeve #somewhereintime #june27 #elisemckenna #richardcollier #mackinacisland
Just a quick island escape… but it felt like a full reset. 🛳️✨
Mackinac wasn’t a big, planned adventure—it was spontaneous, peaceful, and exactly what we didn’t know we needed.
RV life has a way of teaching you that the little trips matter just as much as the long ones.
We didn’t stay overnight. We didn’t rush a checklist.
We just explored, breathed, and left recharged.

"Teamwork Makes The Dream Work"
Size: 24" x 18"
Oil on canvas
By Kristy McNelly
This is an oil painting from my Mackinac Island series. During the lilac festival on Mackinac Island, all of the trees are in bloom and the smell of the flowers, the smell of fudge, and the sounds of horses trotting along the streets fills the air.
In this painting, two horses are depicted in detailed harnesses, standing in verdant surroundings with hints of purple lilacs in the background. The animals appear strong and poised, showcasing their muscular build and tawny coats. Every carriage takes a very workable team to make the magic happen for thousands of visitors to enjoy the island. Hence the title, "Teamwork Makes The Dream Work". Kristy McNelly was also the First Place winner of the Mackinac Island Lilac Poster contest for 2025.
