The 1/2-hour ferry crossing from Mackinaw City to Mackinac Island is one of our area's most popular traditions, and it's a trip that Shepler's has been making since the company's founding in 1945. Visiting Indian River RV Resort in September 2025 and during our opening month of May 2026 is perfect for those who desire a quieter, slow-living vacation in Michigan.

While our region is full of inspiring places to discover, there’s no doubt that our guests love romantic, beautiful, and educational Mackinac Island. You'll find numerous shops and excellent restaurants. Our favorites include having Afternoon Tea at the distinguished Grand Hotel, then boarding a horse-drawn carriage for a narrated tour of the island that leads to Fort Mackinac, and buying a box of the island's famous fudge to take home. A day on Mackinac Island makes for a wonderful excursion, and when you stay with us this September or next May, you'll enjoy a free ferry trip!
