Mackinac Island: A Bicyclist’s Dream
There are roads on Mackinac Island, but no cars. That makes it the perfect place to pedal safely, while catching glimpses of the incredible sights. You can bring your own bike over on the ferry or rent a new ride from an island vendor, maybe a fat tire or a tandem bike for two. Once you’re here, the entire island is your playground, with more than 70 miles of paved trails and earthen paths to explore. You can bike all the way around Mackinac Island, right through the middle of it or just from point to point in town – wherever your two wheels take you.

Pedal Power!
Nothing says leisure quite like a relaxing bike ride through town or peaceful pedal around Mackinac Island’s outer rim.

Whichever kind of biking suits your style, Mackinac Island is the perfect place for it. There’s beautiful scenery, fascinating landmarks and, of course, no cars. Come get on a bike and have your run of America’s No. 1 Best Island!
