What to do in Mackinac Island
Shimmering on Lake Huron between Michigan’s Upper and Lower peninsulas, historic Mackinac (MACK-in-aw) Island defines a relaxed pace of life—car-less streets, horse-drawn carriages, the smell of warm fudge. At the Grand Hotel, where unhurried summer days are legendary (and visitors have included Mark Twain, JFK, and Madonna), take a stroll on the world’s longest wraparound porch or read a newspaper in a rocking chair with views of the Mackinac Bridge. Then meander the gardens for bocce ball or follow the hotel’s resident historian on a tour. Later, sip tea to chamber music or hop on a bike to explore Arch Rock, Fort Mackinac, or the island’s story-laden cemeteries. Before taking a starlit carriage ride, linger over a five-course meal in the main dining room, where the hotel’s maître d’ of 41-plus years might greet you with a “welcome home .”
