Flying to Mackinac Island, a Historic Car-Free Island

Join AOPA Social Media Marketer Cayla Hunt as she flies into Mackinac Island for the first time since visiting the island on family vacations as a child. Mackinac Island is located in Lake Huron, Michigan, and motorized vehicles have been prohibited on the island since 1898. The only ways to visit the island is by private boat, ferry, small aircraft, or by snowmobile over an ice bridge in the winter.

The island is always a fun trip. My Columbia is parked on the ramp in the second row.

It was fun to those sights and I have never been there. So cool to see you all fly there! Thanks for taking us along!

It's good to see a dog smile like that!

Very cool. Hello Grace! I and Tanmoy camped next to you at the Torchport paramotor weekend on 5/27.

I used to do layovers in Traverse City in a previous flying job. Really nice little town in a beautiful part of the country. Never made it up to Mackinac, unfortunately. Might have to remedy that some day. Thanks for the fun video!

Great story. I'll be adding Mackinac Island to my cross-country itinerary. Where's you get the cute sound-muffling headgear for your dog? It looks comfortable and secure.

Small world.... hey Grace!!! 👋
