Re: New Webcam
Here are a few other cameras at Ojibway you can check out... they are not linked on the park's website yet, so the forum members here get the sneak peek preview. Same connectivity as the SW viewing camera so subject to the same limitations/outages. https://www.nps.gov/webcams-isro/northshore.jpg ht...

KNOW BEFORE YOU GO: Rock Harbor area impacted (as of 8/13/22)

For public safety, the following trails are now closed: Greenstone Ridge, Tobin Harbor/Duncan Bay Portage to Daisy Farm junction....

Know before you go: masks optional for all IRNP facilities (as of 8/16/22)
I guess we live in the day and age where government policy is posted to social media, so here you go: Due to a high-community spread of COVID-19, masks are currently required inside of all Isle Royale buildings and aboard the vessel RANGER III. Stay up-to-date with what is happening in and around th...

Re: Is new store in Windigo open yet?
I can confirm that as of 7/13/21, the new Windigo store is NOT open. They received "the last bit of items" the need to finish the store when the Ranger came into Windigo this week. I would not anticipate the new store opening this year. Also, according to my source that left Windigo on the...

Re: Windigo to Rock Harbor Itinerary
This is a totally doable hike. I've done it once at the same age. Your first day hike is easy. The 13 mile day will be a lot due to the nature of hiking 13 miles, but that's it. Since you caught this rare Ranger-to-Windigo boat (didn't know that was a thing), I think this is a fantastic itinerary fo...

Re: TR: 5/2022 [Windigo to RH via Minong and GRT]
WOW, your trip report is thorough. And the pics are fantastic...that one of Sleeping Giant is beautiful, as well as the ridge pic from the firetower. That creek crossing looked harrowing. A lot of your trip looked interesting. I like how when I asked you how your hike was, you just said, "it wa...

Re: Another first timer
I'd recommend you do option #2 as well. Better campsites, much more scenic.

TR: 5/18-5/22/22, Belle Isle & Rock Harbor
Just got back from a four-day excursion to Isle Royale. It was my first time on the island where I was actually camping and not working on the Rock of Ages Lighthouse in five years! It was good to be back. We were the second boat out of Grand Portage to IRNP. The interpretive rangers at Windigo fina...

Post your 2022 bug reports here!
Just got back from five days at Belle Isle and Rock Harbor. Figured I could share a bug report since it will be easy: As of May 22nd, 2022, there are NO BUGS on Isle Royale, because it is FREAKING COLD. :lol: I did see one very confused black fly trying to figure out its life in a Belle Isle biff bu...
