Snow blankets Mackinac’s winter landscape, bringing cold temperatures but reinforcing the warmth of our community.
Shepler’s Ferries close for the season in early November while Arnold Transit Company provides ferry transportation to the Island from November to January. Great Lakes Air schedules service between the airports in St. Ignace and Mackinac Island year ‘round and becomes the primary source of transportation to and from the Island once the straits of Mackinac freeze over for the winter season.
New Year’s Eve is a great time on the Island with restaurants and pubs downtown. The Chili Cook-off, Winter Festival and Winter Fun Weekends are a blast for families and friends to chase away the blues of winter. Mackinac Island’s snowy landscape offers snow trails kept peaceful for Nordic skiing and snowshoeing. Seeing Arch Rock, Sugar Loaf and the historic homes covered in snow is a memorable yet not familiar experience for most Island visitors.
