Mackinaw Island

The next day we took a ferry over to Mackinaw Island. 

This island has no cars – you can rent a bike or a horse to get around. 

We chose to take a horse drawn tour around the Island.  The tour took you through the town and up to the Grand Hotel ($350.00 per night – $10.00 just to walk the grounds) and to a small museum.

We changed buggies and were taken through the state park area to the Arch. It is a miniature of Natural Bridge in TN. We were told that it is made of limestone and is slowly eroding away.

We had a chance to get to know the horses. After the tour we walked down a hill back to town.

The shops on this island also were focused on tourists with many fudge/candy stores and T-shirt shops.  Also, many restaurants and hotels.  There are about 500 people that live on the island year-round.
