Beginning of June - 5 days, 5 nights - Trail Suggestions?

Post by dirkz »

Heading to IR at the beginning of June for 5 days and 5 nights. We are all experienced backpackers with relatively little experience on Isle Royale. While all of us could handle 12-15 mile days, we'd prefer to enjoy ourselves. Any suggestions on possible routes we might take if we want to do 5-8 miles/day? While I'm not sure how much fishing the other 2 will do while at camp, I know I'll probably end up doing a lot of it after camp is made. Any input is appreciated. Thanks

You'll get better advice if you let us know your point of entry (Rock Harbor or Windigo) and your mode of travel to the island.

Hooky is correct. Very different options depending on where you enter. Also, go through the trip reports for ideas.
