Fall Things To Do On Mackinac Island
Mackinac Island is the USA's Best Summer Travel Destination. Yet, some visitors like fall even better. Come fall, Mackinac Island takes on a different vibe. It’s quieter. Less crowded. Even more relaxed. You can feel the calm in the air. And the colors. Oh, the colors! The entire island is completely transformed in October with streaks of red, yellow and gold set against the crisp, beautiful blue waters of the Straits of Mackinac. “It’s just a perfect time to come, especially for couples,” said Lydia Yoder, who owns the 130-year-old Bay View of Mackinac with her husband, Doug. “Coming to Mackinac Island in the fall is one of those things you want to put on your bucket list, if you really want a relaxing, romantic time just to get away. Our guests enjoy so much just lounging on the veranda and being able to do absolutely nothing, if they want to.” Of course, if you like to mix a little action with your relaxing, then there’s still plenty to do on Mackinac Island in the fall.- You can still rent a bike and pedal all the way around Mackinac Island.
