Biking

With over 70 miles of natural and paved trails, Mackinac Island is great for biking. Explore the island’s interior or the eight-mile perimeter on picturesque and paved Lake Shore Boulevard (M-185), the only interstate in the nation that does not allow personal motor vehicles.

Highlights along the way include Arch Rock, British Landing, Brown’s Brook, Devil’s Kitchen, and fantastic views of the Straits of Mackinac and Mackinac Bridge. Use the Mackinac roads and trails map to guide you or visit the Concierge Desk for ideas to customize your biking adventure. Biking around the island is relatively flat and generally takes 1-1½ hours. Refreshments and restrooms are available at the halfway point.
