I think most people dream of heading to a tropical island when they’re looking to slow life down. When the stress of work, family, friends and life in general gets overwhelming, island life is less hurried and includes fewer distractions of modern technology. What makes this island getaway so unusual, is that it’s not tropical and it’s found in Michigan! That’s right. Michigan.
Mackinac (pronounced MACK-in-awe) Island is located in Lake Huron and can only be reached by plane or boat. The quick trip from the mainland transports visitors to a bygone era – as no cars are allowed bicycles and horse-drawn carriages are the primary modes of transportation through the Victorian era downtown, to the island’s scenic coastline and the in the wooded state park which covers more than 80% of the small island.
