Re: Submissions for PICTURE OF THE WEEK go here

Which camp site? Number 4 I think. Good cover and close to the fire pit. The shelter was taken.

Here's another one taken on 5/27/2010 at 9:31 pm at Scoville Point. I waited out there until 10 pm to get this one and some other shots. Hiking back to RH in the dark was fun!

Waterfalls

So who knows about any secret waterfalls on IR? I'm going make panoramas of campsites, graffiti, lakes, sunsets, and anything else interesting while I'm there and I think waterfalls would make a great setting. I know about the ones near Todd Harbor (just past the mine pits) and Siskiwit falls. I rem...

Re: Lake Holloran

In the 1950's the cabin was in pretty bad shape with vegetation taking root around and in; I'm quite sure no effort was made to stabilize the site so would expect only remnants remain of the cabin. rudemark, do you remember which end of the lake the cabin was on? Diaries of an Isle Royale Fisherman...

Re: Backcountry Zones

Do the restrictions in ares apply to off-trail day hikes also or just for backcountry camping? I'm on the Island this May and I wanted to see Lake Halloran. It looks like it's restricted from April through August.

I looked at the backcountry permits thread and it looks like the entire area is closed when I'll be there. Does this apply to day hikes off trail or just campers?

Re: Lake Holloran

Wow, that sounds really cool. I'd read that it had good fishing so that was another reason I wanted to go. It looks like the closest it gets to the Feldtmann Ridge Trail is only a half mile over flat terrain, but it's swampy because of that. It should be easy if I can get monuments to get angles off...

Lake Holloran

Has anyone been to Lake Holloran? I'm interested in seeing the lake and maybe Martin Holloran's cabin. I read in Diaries of an Isle Royale Fisherman that his cabin is on the west end of the lake. It's a single story log cabin with a triangular chimney and maybe a porch.

Re: 2010 Trip Log - Add your planned itinerary here!

In 2008 three friends and I went to IR for 15 days and hiked 110+ miles. It was an exhausting trip but I wanted to see the rest of the island. On May 14 we're catching the first boat out of Copper Harbor for another 15 day trip. We all want to push ourselves harder this time and shatter our old reco...
