All Things Bikes
Since no cars are allowed on Mackinac Island, one of the most scenic ways to take in the natural beauty is by bicycle. Youβre always welcome to take your own bikes to Mackinac Island on the ferry. But there also are several places to rent bikes β from single-speed cruisers to tandem bikes to tag-along trailers for little kids. One of the iconic Mackinac Island experiences is to pedal all the way around the outer rim of the Island with the lake breeze in your face. Itβs a leisurely 8.2-mile ride that takes 60 to 90 minutes.

In my last post about our Mackinac Island visit, I mentioned the Lilac hotel, Shepler's Ferry and the carriage tour. Here are some pics to enjoy.
We took the Mighty Mac departure on Shepler's Ferry. It was a small detour to go under the Mackinac Bridge before heading to Mackinac Island. So beautiful.
I especially loved the carriage tour because I knew walking the island at this point would not be something I could do. Our carriage tour driver was awesome as were the horses. The narrated tours take you through downtown to Surrey Hills, Arch Rock, Fort Mackinac and Grand Hotel.
We did get off the tour early and walked to the Grand Hotel and I did pretty good with my breathing so that worked out nice. I'll have a couple more posts coming including our Grand Hotel experience. It was fabulous.
