Great video. Mackinac Island is absolutely lovely. Mackinac Island is actually located with Lake Huron which is actually the 2nd largest lake in the world. A very popular and beautiful place in summer. Mackinac Island has a history. Thank you from Fort Worth, Texas

I cannot think of another place in the USA that has banned cars. This island is very beautiful, well put together video, Luke

Some people do Mackinac year round, but you need to invest in a snowmobile 😅

@bobchooper114 3 месяца назад

I would say its one of many magical places in Michigan.

This is a great video. I run a color-change souvenir and gift store (Del Sol) in Mackinaw city 2 blocks from Sheplers Ferry. I can vouch and say this video is both accurate and fantastically done, and in about 7 minutes. Great job. I can say that Sheplers Ferry is a much more reliable choice for the ferry.

@LukeGeeTravels 5 месяцев назад

That means so much! Thank you very much! If I ever come back out that way in Michigan, I’ll be sure to pay your store a visit! 🙂

I wish we had a Mackinac Island in Fort Worth. Flowers and walkable spaces. I will surely move there. Clearforks is the closest area.

@LukeGeeTravels 4 месяца назад

I definitely understand! I miss the cobblestone streets of Europe with the many beer gardens, shops and walkable streets! Although, I really enjoyed the Stockyards in fort worth!

@Josh-gy8zi 4 месяца назад

From Michigan been to the island many times. In the winter when tbeake freezes they "plant" a row of pine trees from mainland to the island marking a snowmobile path. Snowmobiles in the winter are the only gas motors on the island.

@rodneymyers4375 4 месяца назад

Apart from emergency service vehicles, AT&T van, Edison Sault truck, State park plows & DNR truck

@LukeGeeTravels 4 месяца назад

Take the ferry boat, from where? which place do I reach starting from Detroit to rake the boat to this amazing island. I am planning to visit this summer. Thanks for the wonderful video 👍

@LukeGeeTravels 4 месяца назад

You can take a boat from either Mackinaw City or St Ignace. The two companies that operate the ferries are Shepler's and Star Line - both are great companies. Enjoy your time!

Thank you for showing us this charming island. I wonder, though, where is the largest city from where one can get to the ferry in order to get to the island?

@LukeGeeTravels 4 месяца назад

Either St Ignace or Mackinaw City! They both offer ferries although I prefer St Ignace as I chose to go with Sheplers, you won’t be disappointed:)

Absolutely, they have plenty! I recommend Ryba’s because they were super friendly and efficient but you will find plenty of shops along the way

@brightpage1020 5 месяцев назад

I'm from Harbor Springs... Mackinac has always been phenomenal but local rumor has it that recently the Island has become a top destination for child traffickers. People used to bring their families there but now local mom's are scared to go with their kids. Keep a close eye on them is what I hear anytime it comes up.

@LukeGeeTravels 5 месяцев назад

Seriously?! Why do people have to ruin beautiful things:/ i hope the rumour isn’t true and people can enjoy the place

@beammeupscotty6516 2 месяца назад

Can you explain the logistics of getting your things to the hotel this is always skipped

@LukeGeeTravels 2 месяца назад

@beammeupscotty6516 you can check your luggage with the ferry and they will transport it go the island. As far as getting it to your hotel ON the island you will have to coordinate that with them. I know the Grand Hotel offers complimentary service to transfer luggage of their guests to their room. Hope this helped a little!

Depends what you're looking for moron. Mackinaw Island is indeed magical in many ways. Incredible views, horse drawn carriages, great food, nostalgic atmosphere, peaceful, bike tours, bars, and more.
