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.

There is no better way to end opening day than a date with my husband at islandhousemackinac ๐Ÿฉต๐Ÿฉต The Grill Room is our favorite spot for any special celebrations and quiet nights away, and Chef Phil is an absolute wizard in the kitchen. They had the most fun event Once Upon an Island for couples who met, got engaged, married, or have a special connection to Mackinac - and we check literally all of those boxes! We met the nicest couple at the cocktail hour and ended up dining with them. Such a fun way to end the best opening day ever! #datenight #islandlife #mackinacisland #michigan #dining

I was thrilled to see my painting at Mackinac Islandโ€™s Opening Day ceremony today and learn that I was the First Place winner of the Lilac Festival poster contest!

Mackinac Island has been such a treasured part of my summers throughout my life (and one winter when we took a snowmobile ride across the straits!) This lifelong love makes this honor feel even more special.

To have my painting chosen to represent this yearโ€™s beautiful Lilac Festival is truly incredible.

A heartfelt thank you to the Mackinac Arts Council and Mackinac Island Tourism for this opportunity. I feel so blessed and canโ€™t wait to attend the festival and meet everyone at the artist reception!
