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.

In celebration of St. Patrick’s Day we would like to share the story of Stonecliffe’s founder, Michael Cudahy, an Irish immigrant whose journey embodies perseverance and success. Cudahy arrived in the United States in 1849 and began working in Milwaukee’s meatpacking industry at just 14 years old. His dedication and hard work led to a partnership at Armour & Co. and he later established the Cudahy Packing Company in South Omaha, Nebraska.
As his success grew, Cudahy expanded into real estate, eventually setting his sights on Mackinac Island. He then became one of the island’s largest landowners with 150 acres of pristine land. In 1904 he brought his vision to life with the creation of his grand estate, Stonecliffe. Decades later, in 1970, the mansion embraced a new chapter, transforming into the beloved retreat it is today, The Inn at Stonecliffe. Today, we dedicate one of our Mansion rooms to his name to remember the legacy and impact he had on beautiful Mackinac Island.

The U.S. Island Where Cars Are Banned! 🚫🚗
Did you know there's an island in the U.S. where cars are completely banned? 🚶♂️🐴
Welcome to Mackinac Island, Michigan—a place where time stands still. In 1898, the island banned cars because they were scaring the horses. Over a century later, people here still rely on horse-drawn carriages, bicycles, and walking as their primary modes of transport.
📦 Even Amazon deliveries arrive by horse and carriage—a rare sight in today's car-centric world!
🌿 With no traffic, no honking, and no pollution, Mackinac Island is a peaceful escape, offering stunning views, fresh air, and a slower, more mindful way of life.
