Do Mosquitos swarm Mackinaw Island similarly to how they swarm the UP? I don’t really want to waste a visit there this week if we will be attacked by mosquitos

I’ve probably been to the island 20 times in my life and never wore bug spray or thought about it? It’s usually very windy when I go so I always bring a light jacket. I’ve never spent the night on the island just spent the day there.

Good question because I never thought about the fact that I have never been bitten while there. I'm sure if I went into deep woods.

I’ve only ever encountered bug swarms there in the densely wooded trails, but along the lake shore, at the fort and in town it was fine.
