“We had a wonderful time on the Isle Royale tour. It was a perfect mother-daughter vacation!” Nancy O.

Visit Isle Royale National Park

The mystique of Isle Royale beckons through the mists and waters of Lake Superior.  Some of you are saying “Finally!” The rest of you are saying “Where?” The island, which is located in Lake Superior, within the Upper Peninsula in Michigan, is 45 miles long and nine miles wide. Isle Royale National Park is the most exclusive national park in the continental United States. It has a permanent population of zero humans and a growing population of 1,500 moose. The island is the only national park that completely shuts down in the winter, and has 165 miles of hiking trails and no roads or vehicular traffic.

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.

In addition, the shoreline of upper Michigan 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.
