“Best trip to a park I’ve ever had and can’t wait to go back.” – Ryan S.
Visit Isle Royale National Park
This national park, which is an island located in Lake Superior within the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, is 45 miles long and nine miles wide. Isle Royale National Park is the most exclusive national park in the continental United States, and is the only national park that completely shuts down in the winter. It has a permanent population of zero humans, an estimated population of 850 moose, no roads or vehicular traffic, and has 165 miles of hiking trails.
Sight to See On Lake Superior
Isle Royale National Park is what a wilderness should look like, and the charming Rock Harbor Lodge is a welcome sight at the end of a day’s hike. During our island hikes we will keep our eyes peeled for moose, wolves, loons, beaver, fox and birdlife, which make the park their home. Lake Superior and the island’s inland lakes offer excellent fishing and photographic sites for viewing pristine forest and waterways.
We start our tour exploring some of the shoreline of upper Michigan, which offers hundreds of miles of seashore and countless national and state protected lands. We have chosen a few gems of the area to begin our Isle Royal Hiking Tour, highlighted by Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore.
