Holiday on Mackinaw Island
Audience: Vacation Takers, Recommended for Over 20 Years Old
Although Mackinaw Island is very small, it is very beautiful and has
lots of exciting activities, such as bicycling, horseback riding, buggy
riding, and fudge shopping. Mackinaw Island is located in the upper
part of Michigan between Lake Huron, Lake Michigan and Lake
Superior. It makes a perfect place for a quick getaway. The tourist
season runs from mid-May to mid-October. The Island, being only 8.2
miles around, looks like a small old-fashioned town.
Mackinaw Island is usually packed with people making the main road
look narrow. Often fifty bicycles or more are parked on both sides of
the road every 300 feet. People are walking in every direction. Horses
walk on the right side of the street and horse buggies wait to pick up
passengers. The place looks very congested and it doesn’t look like
an enjoyable vacation spot but a little farther away from the
downtown area peace and beauty exists.
Mackinaw Island has beautiful scenery. One unique place, the Arch

Rock, looks very neat. It towers above the tourists. The rock has a
huge round hole carved in it making it resemble like a donut hole. It is
about fifteen to twenty feet in diameter. Through the hole, tourists
can only see the bicycle path and Lake View. The lake has clear blue
water. One of the other attractive places it has is the butterfly
house. Hundreds of butterflies fly around the house. When they get
tired, they sit on one of the wire fences. They are in every size and
color. Some of them look like ladybugs and others look like zebras
with black and white stripes.
Mackinaw Island has lots of activities to do from riding bicycles to
horse carriage tours. Motorized vehicles are not allowed on the
Island. One of the exciting activities the Island has is the bicycle
riding, which is different from other bicycle rides because it is around
the shoreline. The bicycle path is seven miles around the shoreline
road. The path is very peaceful, unlike the Island’s downtown area.
Signs on brown boards on the left side of the road describe the next
upcoming scenery. Wherever there is scenery to view there is a
special parking place for the bicycles. When tourists get tired while
riding bicycles they can just pull over on the side and sit along the
lake and enjoy the sun and the Lake View.
Horseback riding is very exciting and fun. They have different size
horses ranging from small to big. The horse owners are very friendly.
They help visitors pick out a horse based on your previous experience
riding horses. The horses are healthy looking. The horses are well
trained; for example they know which path to follow. They walk in a
The Essay on History of Pangkor Island
In past times; this area used to be the center for piracy. The pirates had their home ports in the Pulau Gedung Hills, Gua Lanun (Pirates’ Cave) and Batu Perompak (Pirates’ Rock) on the island of Pangkor. Many ships/boats were taken over and robbed of their goods and products. The Dutch were active here in the times of the Dutch East India Company (VOC). People were especially keeping ...
row and only on the right side of the road behind one another. Once
the horse reaches designated spot in the forest they start running
faster. The green trees make the forest look naturally beautiful. The
horses make the ride very exciting by taking the tourists in the
forest.
Another interesting activity Mackinaw Island has to offer is the horse
carriage tour. First the carriage takes the tourists to horse stables
where they can observe horses daily activities. Interesting facts
about the horses in carriages are that they are raised together, so
they get along very well, and work as a team. Then the carriage tour
stops at a famous fudge stop name Blacksmith Shop. It stops there
for few minutes to fudge shop. The horse buggies also make a stop
to see unique houses and beautiful gardens. The houses are well
designed and gardens are decorated with many different types of
flowers.
Mackinaw Island has a wonderful chocolate cooking smell in the air.
There are many fudge shops. In Mackinaw Island most of the shops
are filled with fudge. The fudge shops have varieties of fudges,
Vanilla, Chocolate, Strawberry, Cherry and more. The fudge is sold at
reasonably priced.
Finally, I think Mackinaw Island is small but an attractive place to
visit. It has many wonderful activities such as bicycling, horseback
riding, horse carriage tour and fudge shopping. At first the Island
looks very crowded but once you go a little farther away from the
Island’s downtown area it is very beautiful and peaceful. Mackinaw
