Bicycle Rentals on Mackinac Island

Bicycle Rentals on Mackinac Island
Mackinac Island has over 70 miles of paved and unpaved roads and trails criss-crossing and traversing the entire length of the island. One of the most popular activities for visitors is a bicycle ride around the perimeter of the island – approximately an 8-mile trip – with ever-changing views of Lake Huron and chances to visit various landmarks along the way including British Landing. Cyclists are treated to nice beaches along the way, perfect for picnics and great views of the Mackinac Bridge from the western side of the island.

You can bring your own bicycle to the island on the ferry for a transportation fee – currently (2021) $13 for Shepler’s Ferry and $12 for Star Line Ferry. There are also many bicycle rental services on the island where you can rent bikes by the hour, half day or full day.
