About MacDowellLandClearing&SnowRemoval

When the ferries thin out and the Straits begin to freeze, Mackinac Island becomes another place entirely: a few hundred year-round residents, snowmobiles instead of bicycles, drifts banked against shuttered storefronts. Some winters an ice bridge forms to St. Ignace, its route marked by old Christmas trees standing upright in the snow. MacDowellLandClearing&SnowRemoval does the snow removal that keeps island life moving through those months, opening paths, walks and doorways after storms blow across the lake. Winter out here is beautiful and stubborn, and the work is in keeping the snow where it belongs, piled in the yards and away from the door. A cleared step on a January morning, with the frozen harbor glittering below, is a small luxury of its own.
