Travel Note

Ferry Information

There are two main ferry operators: Shepler's and Arnold's. We recommend Shepler's, and we have purchased Shepler's tickets for all of our guests. The ferry to Mackinac Island is a walk on ferry and is a quick 15 min ride from either St. Ignace or Mackinaw City. We recommend Shepler's Ferry service and we are providing "enhanced tickets" for our guests which gives early boarding. When you go to the ticket counter just ask for a ticket under Turk Sorensen wedding and then go the enhanced boarding line (which is short). If you are staying on the island, your luggage is checked a bit further down the dock. The ticketing staff can give more details. If going to Mission Point, your luggage will be checked all the way through and will arrive at Mission Point.
