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.

🔊🗣️🎶 #Biking is the other main means of transportation around #Mackinac Island—other than horse-drawn carriages—and we spent a morning seeing the sights of southern #MackinacIsland on two-wheeled rentals from The Inn at Stonecliffe. 🚲 Our goal was to traverse the island from west coast to east to see the geological attraction of the island, #ArchRock, once deemed “one of the greatest marvels of the American continent,” by a French naturalist in 1848. (Did he even see the Grand Canyon? 🤷🏾)

On the way, we checked out the little Mackinac airport (flights are $100/person for the 5 min flight from the mainland, which can be a deal if you factor in their free parking vs. long-term parking fees for the ferry). Then Mackinac Island Cemetery and Skull Cave, an anti-climatic rock formation nearby, which was pale in comparison to Arch Rock when we finally arrived—amidst many tourist-filled carriages. For crowd-control, there’s the new geological visitor center to keep people occupied nearby, named after former Governor Milliken. 

Rather than go back the way we came, we checked out the mansions on the East Bluff before ducking into downtown for a snack at the Watercolor Cafe (WatercolorMackinac), and wandering the souvenir shops and the park outside Fort Mackinac—important site of the “War of 1814,” a local extension of the War of 1812 in which the USA tried to overtake Canada. We then looped back up the west side, stopping to check out the Grand Hotel,  plus the mansions and carriage houses of the West Bluff—all before coming full circle back at The InnAtStonecliffe. — #Cycling eastbound and down and back again on #MackinacIsland, #Michigan, USA.
