Overview

Mackinac Island has been called the Queen of the Great Lakes for centuries. Pedal a scenic, self-guided cycling tour, a largely flat loop around the car-free island. Use your own bike or rent one nearby.

From the State Park Visitors Center past 17th-century Fort Mackinac. Hear tales of the War of 1812, fur trader Madame La Framboise, and the storied history of Mission Point Resort, woven in with the island's Victorian charm, horse-drawn carriages, and famous fudge shops.

This tour isn’t all history. You’ll see big geologic wonders like Arch Rock, and little ones, too, like the Devil’s Kitchen cave - plus the Islands dirty little water secret.

Go at your own pace — stop for photos, a swim, or a scoop of ice cream.

Highlights:
- Fort Mackinac and Arch Rock, two of the island's most iconic landmarks.
- Stories of the War of 1812 and fur-trading pioneer Madame La Framboise.
- Hidden gems like Lost Lake Nature Trail and the cave at Devil's Kitchen.
