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.

 My statement to the attorney of Shepler's Ferry of mackinac island.

  I am currently seeking legal counsel for a lawsuit with Shepler's due to the horrible discrimination I received while at their ferry in July 2026. My retired significant other(Army Colonel) witnesses the whole thing, he wrote his own statement. A civil rights complaint was made back in August. Thus far, they(MDCR) are very frustrated, and it seems Shepler's might get away with transphobic discrimination! Anyway disagree???!!!! 😤

Mackinac Island - In case you’ve missed seeing one of these, here’s a mid-October Autumn overview of a section of the island pre-dawn while it’s still a little dark and the streets light still on before visitors arrive & the streets become alive with activity.

Mackinac Island, Michigan 🚲
No traffic noise. Just lake air and old streets. Not every place needs to move faster.

Part 5 - A beautiful tour around the island with T-Bone and Gibson leading the way! 🐴🍂❤️ Enjoying the stunning fall foliage, charming streets, and peaceful scenery while riding in a horse-drawn carriage. Such a unique experience in a place where motor vehicles are not allowed, and horses and bicycles are the main ways to get around! 🚲🐎 A big thank you to T-Bone, Gibson, and Jordan for making this island adventure so special and unforgettable! 🍁✨#mackinacisland #fbreels #instareels

Mackinac Island State Park has banned cars for over a hundred years.

Emergency vehicles are the biggest exception.
Almost everybody gets around by bicycle, and horses are also a main way to travel.
So leave your car on the mainland and take the ferry.
