Mackinac Island is located at the confluence of Lakes Michigan and Huron. Buy your tickets online for ferry Arnold going from San Ignacio to the island. They are one of the three companies that service the island is San Ignacio or Mackinaw City, a journey of twenty minutes to cross the Strait.

The island was an important stop for hundreds of years. Originally called Michils Machinac (Turtle Island), there has been an important commercial center during the day of beaver 1600. Being so near the border between Canada and the U.S., the island has great historical value, near the station, which is today.
