2Mackinac Island, Michigan, USA
Travel back through the mists of time to this quaint, charming place. Take a ferry from Michigan’s Mackinaw City or even St. Ignace. Indeed, May is one of the best times to see Mackinac Island.
In May, the island is beautifully blooming. You can explore the area and enjoy the lovely landscape free of all the tourists who descend upon this pretty place during the summer. Be prepared to walk more than you might usually though as cars are not permitted here.
Don’t want to walk everywhere? No problem. You can also travel by bicycle, horse, and carriage.
In fact, if you’d rather not hike, the trails in Mackinac Island State Park can be visited via horseback. Visit the historic Grand Hotel, a once-popular getaway for the rich and famous, kick back by Lake Huron, and take in the scent of the lilac trees too.
