Day 22 Macknic Island Part 2

Notice the Fudge in the air




View from the inland




Horse Carriages on the streets




We circled the island on tandom bike



Arch Rock



The island is famous for it's "Fudge". Every other shop is a fudge shop and the rest are ice cream, gelato and candies. The advantage of off-season is , everyone is friendly and wanting to talk. No lines, we rented the Tandom bike and circled the island and saw beautiful vistas of the beach and lake ( which thinks it is an ocean). There were migratory canadad geese and other birds. The Arch Rock is a land mark of the island.


One last piece of trivia: After the rail roads came to this part of the country, the cargo ( fur, iron and copper ore) was transported by putting the loaded rail cars on the ferries to across the lakes.


ok, good night , sleep well.
