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.

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.

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.
