My brother and I are going to Isle Royale in August. We are actually camping in Minnesota but had to spend one night at Isle Royale. I have never been before but it looks amazing!

I have never been there but I hope to go there and enjoy the park just as everyone else has. I have been researching it and it seems like a worth while tour.

Isle Royale!! Visited in the 60's and it lives on in spectacular memory. Hope it inspires all visitors likewise.

My best friend and I visited Isle Royale three summers ago. We took the ferry over from Copper Harbor. It was one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen. We had a blast...wish we could have camped over night.

Haven't been there since the 70's but remember it very fondly. Also remember getting sick on the boat over. Waves were fourteen feet high that day. Hope to go back before I get too old to go back. This is my favorite national park

My husband and I took our 2 kids, ages 11 and 13, for 6 nights on the island. We all agreed that this was the most adventurous trip we have ever taken and also the most beautiful place we have ever visited. We managed to hike around 45 miles with our packs and about another 15 without our packs. It seems that the world stops when you are on Isle Royale and you have the opportunity to really enjoy each other without any interruption of the regular busy world. We cannot wait to return!

My Buddy Bill and I took the seaplane from Houghton to Rock Harbor where we rented a canoe and took a water taxi to Malone Bay.Canoed and fished back to Chippewa Harbor and picked up there and stayed at the lodge a couple of nights. Traded in the canoe for a fishing boat and fished around the islands. What a marvelous trip! Next time we'll take the gals and take the boat from Copper Harbor.It's truly a magically island and can't wait to go back!

I have been to Isle Royale 3 times and have thoroughly enjoyed each experience. We saw moose, fox and snowshoe rabbits and heard the wolves. It is one of my favorite places on earth. It has been several years since I have been back. I may be more of a Lodge visitor than a backpacker at this point.
