Bicycles and horse-drawn carriages are the norm for transportation on Mackinac Island.

Mackinac Island has a long history of French, British and American presence from the seventeenth century fur trade to late nineteenth-century tourism. Following the American Civil War, Mackinac Island became a popular summer resort noted for its historic charm, natural beauty and healthy environment. Many of the structures built during this era remain as well-preserved examples of late nineteenth-century resort architecture.

With its beautiful architecture and history immaculately preserved, time stands still here. Horses and bicycles are a part of everyday life. The island's slow pace and car-free environment make it a great place to relax and unwind. You can escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and enjoy some peace and quiet. And yes, UPS even delivers Amazon boxes from a horse-drawn wagon.
