Mackinac Island Cross Country Skiing

Mackinac Island Cross Country Trails

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.

Did you know there is a town in the US that completely banned cars all the way back in 1898? 🤯🚫🚗
Welcome to Michigan! This state isn't just about the automotive industry; it is surrounded by massive lakes and hidden historical gems. Here is what you probably didn't know:
✓ Mackinac Island banned cars in 1898—you can only travel by bike, horse, or on foot!
✓ Michigan has more coastline than any other state except Alaska (over 3,000 miles of shoreline).
✓ It is the only place in the world where you can find Petoskey stones.
✓ Detroit operates the only floating post office in America, literally delivering mail to moving ships on the river!
✓ (Engagement Bait Fact): Did you notice the "Petoskey stone" in the video? Let me know if you spotted the mistake! 👀
Which of these Michigan facts surprised you the most? Could you live in a town with zero cars? Let me know in the comments! 👇💬
