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.

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.

Some places stay in your heart long after you leave. For me, Mackinac Island is one of them. 💙
Meet Island Heart, a piece from my Mackinac Collection with deep blue beads and a gold-toned heart pendant with a little sparkle.
I’d pair it with a cream sweater or a simple white shirt and let that beautiful blue stand out.
Do you have a place that holds a little piece of your heart? I’d love to hear where. ☺️
Find Island Heart through the link in my bio.
Shipping reminder: Orders placed through November 15 will begin shipping November 16. Thank you for your patience and support! 💙

One of my all-time favorite East Bluff views! 🧡 That’s why I featured it in both Four Seasons of Mackinac and as a coloring illustration in Mindful Mackinac. The next time you’re on the island, make the trek up the hill and take in this beauty for yourself. Trust me, the view is worth every step! 🌿

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

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.
