About Great Turtle Kayak Tours
Embark on an unforgettable guided hiking tour of Mackinac Island during the breathtaking fall season. Experience the vibrant colors of the changing leaves and the crisp autumn air as you explore the island’s scenic trails.
As autumn descends upon Mackinac Island, nature paints a breathtaking masterpiece. The island’s lush greenery transforms into a vibrant tapestry of fiery reds, golden yellows, and warm oranges, creating a scene straight out of a storybook.
Feel the crunch of fallen sugar maple and beech leaves beneath your boots as you ascend gentle slopes, rewarded with panoramic views of Lake Huron shimmering in the distance. Capture the magic of the season with photos of the iconic Mackinac Bridge framed by the colorful foliage. Breathe in the crisp air, alive with the scent of balsam fir and white cedar, mingled with the earthy aroma of decaying leaves.
Along the way, keep your eyes peeled for the island’s diverse wildlife. You might catch a glimpse of a white-tailed deer gracefully bounding through the underbrush, or a red squirrel busily gathering nuts for the winter. Listen for the cheerful calls of chickadees and nuthatches as they flit among the branches, and perhaps even spot a majestic bald eagle soaring overhead. As you admire the vibrant hues of the changing leaves, don’t forget to look carefully past the fallen foliage to discover an equally colorful world of fungi. Keep an eye out for the striking Lion’s Mane mushroom, with its cascading white tendrils resembling a lion’s mane, or the vibrant Chicken of the Woods, with its bright orange and yellow clusters. These and other fascinating fungi add another layer of beauty to the island’s autumnal landscape.
