Mackinac Island, Car-free resort island in Lake Huron, Michigan, US.
Mackinac Island extends across 4.35 square miles of land between Michigan's Upper and Lower Peninsulas, featuring limestone formations and dense forests.
Native Americans inhabited this territory for over 700 years before French explorer Jean Nicolet documented the island during his 1634 expedition.
The preservation of Victorian architecture includes multiple buildings listed in the National Register of Historic Places, representing different construction periods.
Tourists reach the island via ferry services from Mackinaw City and St. Ignace, with main transportation options limited to horses, bicycles, and walking.
The local ordinance from 1895 prohibits motor vehicles on the island, making it one of the few municipalities in North America with this restriction.
