What is Mackinac Island?
'''Mackinac Island''' is an [[island]] in [[Lake Huron]]. It is part of the [[U.S. state]] of [[Michigan]] and is 8 [[mile]]s (13 [[kilometre|kilometers]]) around. Many people go to see Mackinac Island in the [[summer]] because the island passed a local [[law]] that says that no one can use a [[car]] on the island. Everybody has to ride a [[horse]] or a [[bicycle]]. In recent years, young people have been using roller skates or roller blades to get around the island. There is a narrow paved road that follows the 8 miles of shoreline. This road is for horses (and their buggies), bicycles, skaters and joggers or just people taking a long walk. In order to get to Mackinac Island, visitors have to buy a ticket on a ferry [[boat]]. The boat ride has views of [[Lake Huron]] and the [[Mackinac Bridge]]. After they get to Mackinac Island, many visitors buy locally made [[fudge]]. [[Category:Islands of the United States]] [[Category:Geography of Michigan]] {{US-geo-stub}}
