GETTING HERE
A t the very top of the state of Michigan, two great peninsulas nearly touch. Between them is Mackinac Island, a place you can’t quite reach the usual way. You leave your car behind and step onto a ferry or a small plane finding yourself effortlessly gliding over the crystal blue water. As the ferry grows closer and the Island gets larger, you notice there's no traffic noise, no highways, and no parking lots. Horses clip- clop somewhere nearby. Bicycles lean against rail- ings. You step onto the Island, and that’s when you realize—you’ve arrived in a place where cars never came, and never will. SHEPLER’S MACKINAC ISLAND FERRY is your gate- way to Mackinac Island with first-class service for every guest, every day. For over 80 years, Shepler’s has provided smooth, safe, and reliable ferry service with timely departures and frequent Mighty Mac trips that take you under the Mackinac Bridge with breathtaking views of the Straits of Mackinac. With convenient departures from Mackinaw City and St. Ignace, getting to the Island has never been easier. Book your vacation today at sheplersferry.com.
