Save this Post. 1. Re: Best route to Mackinac area from Twin Cities, MN. Apr 18, 2012, 1:15 PM. According to Googlemaps, the difference between a route alon the Lake MI shore and one along the Lake Superior shore is about 1/2 hour. I would take one route east, and the other route home. Both are beautiful routes.
