There’s a Silent Dead Zone in the Interior of Mackinac Island Where the Tourists Never Go
Say Mackinac Island and just about anyone will begin to think of images that make the island famous - fudge, bike and carriage rides, the trip over on a ferry or the Grand Hotel. Almost no one will conjure up an image of the wooded interior of the island - it's an area where tourists don't venture and some call the most eerie location in Michigan.
State Senate passes bill to establish e-bike speed limit on Mackinac Island
LANSING — Senate Bill 682, sponsored by state Senator John N. Damoose (R-Harbor Springs), implements a speed limit for bikes and electric bikes (e-bikes) on the state highway that surrounds Mackinac Island. Given that the highway prohibits motor vehicles, e-bikes that can reach up to 20-28 miles per hour have posed safety concerns. This bill prioritizes the safety of residents, addressing the possibility of future accidents perpetrated by e-bikes by enforcing a 15 mile-per-hour speed limit. ”I spoke with Mackinac Island officials and worked out agreeable terms prior to formally introducing the legislation earlier this year. This was an important update that had bipartisan support all the way to the governor’s desk,” said Sen. Damoose. “The newly signed law will maintain access for those with limited mobility but will also make sure visitors and residents on the island stay safe and are able to enjoy the unique Pure Michigan opportunities that Mackinac Island has to offer.”

We all know the rules of the road, and one of the main ones we're expected to follow is the speed limit. Whether it's 15 or 75 MPH, if you keep it at or below that speed, you're likely to have a better time as you travel around the state. But, until this week- there was still one highway in Michigan that was lawless and unregulated, having no speed limit.
The Bridge View Exit in Northern Michigan Leads to Nowhere and Everything
Exit 343 on Interstate 75 in Michigan could be considered an exit to nowhere. There is no highway, no connection to anyplace other than an amazing view of the Mackinac Bridge and the Straits of Mackinac, that makes this exit to nowhere truly everything that's great about Michigan. The exit...
Everything You Need to Know About the 2024 Mackinac Bridge Walk
The Mackinac Bridge Walk is the event that truly signals the end of summer in Michigan and now we have details about what's happening for this year's walk. The Mackinac Bridge Authority released all of the information for the 2024 walk on July 10, and there are a few changes to be aware of this year - mainly, that the starting point on the St. Ignace side of the bridge has changed.
