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.

We love winter, but these freezing days have us thinking about summer on Mackinac Island ☀️🚲
We try to enjoy each season as it comes, but sometimes it’s nice to think about what’s coming next 🌊🌸
Are you still loving the cold or ready for warmer days? 🤍

Winter ❄️ in the magical ✨️ Mackinac island 🏝

It’s been a gray few days on Mackinac, but some sun this morning allowed for some great views of the Round Island Lighthouse as well as the USCGC Mackinaw circling the freighter Wilfred Sykes around 9 AM!

Started the morning with a fun interview with wjrradio about life on Mackinac and the Cookie Co.! Dropped H off at school after arguing about the appropriateness of a tulle skirt in 16 degree weather and then Bennett and I went for a little ride! The airport is busy, busy as it's now our only transportation for people, mail, UPS, food, etc. on and off the island. We popped down to British Landing to visit my dream house (which is for sale!) and then took the lakeshore back to town. The sun is out, the snow is falling, and it's another gorgeous day on Mackinac! #mymackinac #mackinacisland #snowmobile #winter #islandlife

The weather is perfect! #mackinacisland #islandlife #october #weekend #photography
The cold snowy weather has us dreaming of sunny summer days. Dog-friendly rental off of Mackinac Island was the best idea! Mackinac itself had plenty of spots where Frankie could join us, including outdoor dining options and hiking.
Where else do you recommend for vacations with furry family?

Torna di nuovo una delle nostre rubriche preferite: “Le città pedonali esistono davvero?" 🚗
Oggi voliamo negli Stati Uniti, su un’isola dove le auto sono bandite da oltre un secolo: Mackinac Island, nel Michigan.
Qui ci si muove solo a piedi, in bici o a cavallo. Le uniche eccezioni? I veicoli d’emergenza, le sedie a rotelle elettriche e qualche motoslitta d’inverno.
L’80% del territorio è parco statale. Il resto è fatto di sentieri, scuderie, storia e silenzio.
Anche questa è una piccola realtà dove il tempo ha deciso di rallentare.
E dove ogni viaggio è davvero… senza motore. 🐴
Ti piacerebbe vivere in un posto così? Raccontacelo nei commenti 👇
