State highway in Mackinac and Chippewa counties in Michigan, United States

No part of M 134 is listed on the National Highway System, a system of roadways important to the country's economy, defense, and mobility. In 2009, the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) conducted a survey to determine the traffic volume along the highway, reported using a metric called average annual daily traffic (AADT). The department determined that the highest count was the 3,595 vehicles a day that used the highway west of the M 129 junction in Cedarville; the lowest counts were 608 vehicles daily between the M 48 junction and the De Tour village limits. On the island, 667 vehicles use M 134 daily. According to tourism officials in the area, over 100,000 vehicles per year are transported round trip on the ferry with almost twice as many additional passengers.

The Eastern Upper Peninsula Transportation Authority (EUPTA) operates the Drummond Island Ferry across the De Tour Passage in addition to two other ferries and the regional rural bus system for Luce and Chippewa counties. As part of the service between De Tour and Drummond Island, EUPTA operates up to three different vessels: the SS Drummond Islander, SS Drummond Islander III and the SS Drummond Islander IV. as of 2022, fares start at $20 per car and increase based on the size of the vehicle transported, including a fuel surcharge. Passenger fares are $2 for adults and $1 for seniors or students; the vehicle driver's fare is included in the vehicle charge. All fares are round trip and collected when departing DeTour Village; there is no fare when departing Drummond Island. Ferries leave Drummond Island at 10 minutes after the hour, from De Tour at 20 minutes to the hour, and run most of the day, all year round, only closing temporarily when high winds and heavy ice occur.

Starting in late 1928 or early 1929, the first route designated as M 134 was a road in Missaukee County from M 66 three miles (4.8 km) north of McBain east to Falmouth in the northern Lower Peninsula. In 1938, the Michigan State Highway Department (MSHD) returned the road to local control. When the rest of the state highway system was first designated, by July 1, 1919, the first state highway in the area of today's M 134 was a section of M 12. That highway segment was used for US 2 in 1926. A rerouting of US 2 was completed in 1933 between Rogers Park and Sault Ste. Marie. The new routing followed Mackinac Trail instead of turning east to Cedarville and north to Sault Ste. Marie. The former routing was given the M 121 designation, and later M 4. The current designation appeared in the Upper Peninsula in 1939, soon after being removed from Missaukee County. It replaced the former M 4 route designation. At the time, M 134 was routed farther inland between US 2 and a point north of Hessel. The highway ended at the Mackinac–Chippewa county line, but an extension farther east was shown on maps of the time as under construction. This segment of roadway was completed in the latter half of 1940, extending M 134 to terminate at M 48 about 10 mile (16 km) west of DeTour. In 1950, a new roadway section was added to the state highway system, bypassing the former routing of M 48 west of DeTour; in the process the MSHD extended M 134 on this new highway and truncated M 48 to the junction south of Goetzville. In 1958, the highway west of Hessel was shifted to follow an alignment closer to Lake Huron; the MSHD transferred the former routing of M 134 to local control at that time. In October 1963, the final section of I 75/US 2 freeway opened in the UP; M 134's western terminus was truncated slightly to end at the new freeway instead of the former routing of US 2 along Mackinac Trail. In 1989, MDOT extended the trunkline to add a segment on Drummond Island; in the process, the Drummond Island Ferry across the DeTour Passage was added to the route. The entire length of the highway was dedicated as a Pure Michigan Byway on October 16, 2015.
