Isle Royale Forums

Does anyone have a record or know where I can find one regarding sunrise and sunset times at Isle Royale? Also I know I should know this by now, but it's slipping my mind at the moment, the island is on Eastern Time correct? Thanks.

I always use USNO's site: http://aa.usno.navy.mil/data/docs/RS_OneYear.php

You can be simple and plug in something like "Grand Marais" in Minnesota, or use the second form and use actual coordinates. Note: The time on form one comes up as Standard Time, so add an hour.
For form two, you need to plug that in. EDT is GMT-4.

That's perhaps the one thing I don't care about mid-late Sept on the Isle. Beautiful color, but it does get darker early...

Thanks for the site Tom. It appears as though there are a couple of sites that have programs that allow you to punch in information like this one, but since you recommended this one, I'm sticking with it

I'll have to try that one. I've been happy using http://www.sunrisesunset.com/USA/NationalParks/. And, going to the site to grab the URL just now, I see that you can actually just select Isle Royale NP from a dropdown list and go - I think that's a newer feature. I've adjusted the URL above to take you right to the National Parks page.

As to time, yes Eastern, though the only thing about time that I care about is when do the sun and moon rise and set and when do I have to be on the dock to catch the boat home.
