A car-free island frozen in time
A Victorian island in the Great Lakes where cars are banned — travel by bike, horse, or foot past a grand hilltop hotel, a colonial fort, and shops selling its famous fudge.
No cars — bikes, horses, and walking; ferry to arrive.
Rent a bike and circle the flat 8-mile shore road — the whole island in a breezy hour.
Generally safe — exercise normal travel awareness.
Genteel hotel bars and porches.
