Travelled to St. Ignace for a two day stay and to take the Ferry to Mackinac Island. Tried many times to get a reservation on the island marina but without luck. The Ferry Ride over was a quick ferry travelling at 30 mph and only took 10 minutes.
The island itself is historic with Fort Mackinac, The Stone Arch and the Grand Hotel. There are no cars on the island and transportation is by horse carriage or bicycle only. They are also famous for their fudge making, of which there were many shops. The place is a major tourist attraction and I must say it was a little too peopley for my liking, although some of the waterfront walks and walks in the wooded areas were quite nice.
David and Susan were able to get a slip on the island, and we met them for lunch at the Mission Point Resort Bistro by the water.
Definitely a highlight stop along the loop.
The island gave us a great view of the Mackinac Bridge which we will pass under on Thursday.
