Mackinac Island
Mackinac Island is a car-free Victorian treasure in Michigan's Lake Huron, where horse-drawn carriages, the iconic Grand Hotel, and century-old fudge shops preserve an atmosphere of unhurried elegance. Visitors should not miss a carriage tour past Arch Rock and Fort Mackinac, followed by planked whitefish at a harborside tavern. The island is most enchanting from mid-June through September, when the Lilac Festival gives way to warm summer days perfect for cycling the eight-mile shoreline loop.
