Travel by Barge with Arnold Freight Company

​

Just bring your truck and trailer to the Arnold Freight dock in St. Ignace and have your horse come to the island--stress free in your trailer! Arnold Freight staff will load your truck and trailer on the ferry and offload your trailer on the Coal Dock at the island. 

Once you arrive on the island, you will unload your trailer on the dock. All trailers must be brought back to the mainland, but don't stress, the crew will take your rig back so you can stay with your horse! Please keep in mind that with their demanding schedule, the boat cannot wait long for you to unload your horses. Please have your gear ready, and your horses tacked so you can quickly unload and start your Mackinac Island experience!

​

Once your island adventure concludes, the Arnold Freight crew members will return with your truck and trailer and meet you at the Coal Dock for your return trip to St. Ignace. 

​

If you request to land at British Landing, you are immediately immersed in the Mackinac Island State Park and greeted by an Equestrian Center staff member. Skip all the hustle and bustle of downtown and make a quick 0.9 mile jaunt on horseback to the barn to settle your horse in after you arrive.
