Day 1 to Daisy Farm?

Post by stongue »

Hello - We will be taking the Copper Harbor ferry on Monday to Isle Royale which arrives at 2:45. We were wondering how realistic is it to be able to get to Daisy Farm campsite same day and set up camp before dark?

Thanks,

Steve

It shouldn't be an issue. We found it easier to take the Tobin Harbor trail and catch the Rock Harbor trail at 3 Mile before continuing on to Daisey.

Good news! The Queen arrives between 11:15 and 11:30... It departs Rock Harbor at 2:45.

Getting to Daisy Farm the first day off the ferry is very doable. The Tobin Harbor trail is an easier path to hike, but the Rock Harbor Trail is very scenic at the cost of being a bit slower for getting to Daisy.
