What a great report! Isle Royale is a special place and you seemed to have run into some of the things that make it so!

I would suggest the Feldtman fire Tower as well. It offers great views of the western end of the island!

I thought it would...

I am not sure what the average pike is in these inland lakes. We have caught a few from the shores of Lake Ritchie and Chickenbone, but nothing of much size, maybe 24 inches or so. We did run into a couple who had caught what they said was a giant pike in Chickenbone, but who knows what they think i...

Well i am not sure if it will be busier than years past, but the price of gas at $2.50 this year should increase the amount of visitors a little bit, i would think. I can see though that of all the people who have listed an itenarary on this site, noone is going to be there the same time as us. July...

Lots of good fishing at Chickenbone and Lake Ritchie, You can expect to catch Perch, Pike and in Chickenbone, maybe even a Walleye. Not sure about Hatchett Lake. The video of the 43 inch pike on youtube was mine. I caught that beast in Chippewa Harbor.We caught all of our Pike by either casting or t...

I have been to Isle Royale 4 times for a total of 32 nights and have only stayed in a tent one time when the shelter was already taken at Merritt Lane CG. Of course it stormed like hell that night!! Of the 36 days I have spent on the island, it has only rained 3 times, which I think is pretty amazin...

I guess my vote would be if it aint broke don't fix it. My 2 cents. Also, when is the next hosting b...

There is no place like it! The isolation, the solitude of the island, the history of the island, the wolves & moose, the people I meet on the island, the fact that it is one of the least visited parks in the country, Lake Superior, Birch tree forests, Pine forests, bogs, orange rocks, the sounds...
