The Mackinac Experience
Come for the weekend to enjoy all the special things Mackinac Island has to offer. Stroll the streets of town shopping for late season specials, tour Fort Mackinac, sample Fudge (a Mackinac Island specialty), rent a bike, horse or carriage and explore the inside trails of the Island, taking in the historic landmarks and beautiful Victorian homes along the way, or just stroll the harbor and streets of Mackinac. There’s so much to see and do you’ll want to give yourself plenty of time before and after the race. Go to www.mackinacisland.org for more information. Accommodations
