Re: Winter camping on Isle Royale? Park service seeks public comments for possible changes
Comment period closes on 9/26. I also suggested no change, but the treatment for historical properties in Option B would be worthy of focus. I personally don't like the idea of a reservation system and possible guided wilderness tours in B either. For anyone who wants an overview, rather than ...

Re: Any Thoughts About this Itinerary?
Thanks! I’ll try to find out if there are algae blooms anywhere before we head out there. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk The park usually does a pretty good job of posting the algae bloom info on the site. https://www.nps.gov/isro/planyourvisit/conditions.htm You'll also get the info during you ...

Re: Any Thoughts About this Itinerary?
Island Mine to S Desor is basically a walk in the woods that you'd experience at any midwestern state park. The toughest part is the portion from the Greenstone junction to the campground on S Desor.

Re: Tip-to-Tip Trip
Thank you all for the advice! We plan to fish near Lane Cove and at Chickenbone— I’ve pinched my barbs and packed all my carbs, ready to (not) rip some lips!

Re: Random thoughts and questions
I believe your answer to #2 is that it's an old logging road that supported logging around the Big Siskiwit River described in this link. https://iri.forest.mtu.edu/Historic_Logging.htm That is definitely possible, and I'm definitely leaning towards some kind of logging-related item. The ...

Re: TR: Late May 2023
Sorry about all the false info, but one correction. Firearms are allowed on the island, assuming you're in compliance with Michigan firearm laws. Discharge of those firearms on the island is prohibited though. Our gun laws are Byzantine.

@Ingo you mentioned Mike, has anyone seen or heard from him lately? Seems like it's been several years since he was active.

Re: [Tool] Isle Royale Trip Planner Spreadsheet
Ingo...thank you for the reply & direction. In planning my trip I believe I ran into an issue. From Hatch Lake / Greenstone Junction, there is no option for Hatchet Lake Campground or Minong Trail junction toward Todd Harbor. You can only travel to: Ishpeming Point, Desor, or Island MIne ...

Re: Isle Royale 2023 - Hammock Locations
If all three are hammocking, it may be tough. If it just you, then I can help with 2 of your sites. Feldtmann I hung at campsite #2. You may be able to do multiples here as there's a big hardwood tree that I used for one end. Siskiwit I hung at campsite #3. This was just enough for a single in order ...
