Re: Backpacking circumnavigation of IR

I'd think about hiking the Minong on the 1st 1/2 of your trip since it's considered the harder trail.

When you get to Windigo you can go straight across on the Greenstone or work in the Feldmann loop depending on how you feel..

Either way have fun and be safe!! When will you be on the island?

Re: Off-Trail Hiking to Hay Bay

I was thinking about taking the shoreline the whole way down.

Camping at Siskiwit bay and making it to Hay bay in one day.

Does the NPS charge any more for a back country permit?

Lake Desor without a doubt, there's a beach down towards the right at the end of the trail.

Are fires still permitted??

Are fires still permitted in fire pits only?

Hoping there's no ban with the lack of rain we've received this summer..

Re: Camping in Grand Portage, MN

There's a marina straight across from where the Sea Hunter leaves, I'm pretty sure I saw camp sites there.

Hiking to Duncan bay and Merritt Lane??

Has anyone hiked to Duncan bay and or Merritt Lane from Rock Harbor??

Wondering if the trees and underbrush are too thick or not? Looks like a ridge you could possible stay on most of the way.


Thanks

Sentar point is in Siskiwit Bay, from what I've heard the only thing left of the power house is the foundation.

There is an old Steam engine just off the trail south of Island Mine.
