I've also been looking at Voyageurs National Park. You might want to check out the Kettle Falls Hotel: https://www.kettlefallshotel.com/


Thank you for your suggestion backwoods doc! I have been to Voyageurs once before. I am considering going back if I can manage to get my canoe from my vehicle ...

Did I miss a significant change in booking Windigo cabins?

Called in today to book- as before 2 January was the first day to book- to find no availability. First agent said they hadn't been released yet (called right at 9am AZ time); called back a few hours later and a different agent said Windigo ...

fonixmunkee, thank you for the great trip report! The pictures and related information were nice to see/read. You had the bonus of a "torpified encounter!"

Also, thank you for your volunteer work on the Rock of Ages Lighthouse!

Does this make it official? I have been wondering when the park ship would show up on the Mott Island Web camera!

Thanks for the additional information but I was referring to tfrey's statement "We may spend a night on Ryan Island or the island just to the south of there." i.e. no camping is allowed on any island on Siskitwit Lake. I should have been more explicit. Also, cross-country camping is not allowed on ...

I believe spending the night on Ryan Island (or any island) would be off limits.

The islands at Isle Royale National Park where camping is allowed include:
Beaver Island
Belle Isle
Birch Island
Caribou ...

Torpified, your comment made me laugh! :lol:

I slice open two edges with scissors, turn them inside out, and lick them clean! (This is another reason it's a good thing I backpack alone.)

I believe you backpack alone for at least two other reasons.

1. You are fiercely independent.
2. There are ...

When I was there in August Moskey was overflowing, McCargo was "just" full, Malone was full (of boaters set up there long term...stacks of coolers behind the shelters, 20+ cases of beer laying around, camp chairs all around) and poor Daisy was double or tripled up at every site

Thank you for the ...

This is a screen capture from this morning, 3/4/2022. Wonder what kind of critter made these tracks?
I was wondering the same thing! I check the web cameras everyday and I noticed some other tracks on Wednesday(?). I thought about posting a screenshot then. In fact, I noticed some tracks on the ...

Looks like a great day for flat work.

Looks like a great day to be at Isle Royale!

Thanks for a great trip report! Really liked the picture of the sunset and video of the cow moose and calf! Glad to hear that you had a good trip and that you will be back. That is usually the case as Isle Royale/Lake Superior can get to your soul.

Also, I'll bet it was hella scary to be in a tent during that storm!

Two of the most intense summer storms I have experienced in my life were while I was at Isle Royale. During one of the storms I was in a tent at Hatchet Lake. During the other, I was glad I was in one of the shelters!

that's how I play it. A headnet weighs next to nothing. The disutility of bringing it and not using it is teeny; the disutility of leaving it home then needing it is huge.

I learned a new word today. Thanks torpified!
