Explore by Boat
Two centuries ago, when the governor of the Michigan Territory stopped at Mackinac Island on an expedition, his team was struck by the variety and delicacy of the fish – especially the rich flavor of the whitefish. Charter fishing boats that operate in the Straits of Mackinac find that to be true still today. But even if you’re not a fisherman, you can still get out on the water and enjoy the beauty of Mackinac Island from lake level in a kayak, sailboat or a sunset cruise under the Mackinac Bridge. Or, if you’re a thrill seeker, get up high above the water and go parasailing.

A view of the soft warm inviting lighting of hotels & shops along Mackinac Island’s Main Street. I remember years ago, I stood on the shore at Mackinac City at night, looking across the water watching the lights miles away of this area; wondering what it was like there evenings (having only been a day visitor). This image is along the lines of my visions back them.

So this happened this weekend after dating for a decade! I thought it was a little weird when Scott wanted to go back to Mackinac Island, but I'm always up for a trip. He did a great job on surprising me and picking out the ring! 💏 💍💖 🥰 🌉
The leaves 🍂🍁 are late to turn this year, but we had great weather and lucked out with a lake view room at Lake View Hotel and a last-minute cancellation at Chippewa Hotel for Sunday night. October is a great time to visit - fewer people, hotel deals, and fall color!
I took so many photos of the scenery! There are definitely more to come! 📸 🐴 💗

I have traveled to several places and I like this place better than Charleston SC! I would like to say in my opinion Mackinac Island is the Charleston of the midwest. I want to move here it is spectacular!

We got to spend so much quality time in Michigan this summer. It was great to not only spend time catching up with family but to spend time catching up with our home state.
