Travel on the island is accomplished on foot, horse, horse-drawn vehicle, or bicycle.
• Walking: The airport is about 1.6 miles by paved road from Market Street and the downtown area shops and restaurants.
• Taxi: The Mackinac Island Taxi Service runs horse-drawn taxi carriages 24 hours a day from May to October, with limited hours from November to April.
• Bicycles: There are no bicycle rentals available at the airport, but there are several bicycle rental businesses downtown. Some private bikes can be stored in the racks outside the airport terminal.
