Visiting Isle Royale National Park, MI


Isle Royale National Park is located on the largest island in Lake Superior. Its isolated location, only accessible by boat or seaplane, has allowed Isle Royale to remain a primitive wilderness. Designated as a UNESCO International Biosphere Reserve, the park is home to moose, wolves and beavers, as well as a large variety of birds and fish. Reserve a spot on the Park Service's Ranger III, a ship that ferries visitors across 73 miles of water, from mainland Michigan to the island wilderness.
