I'd suggest something like this route:

Night 1: Daisy
Night 2-3: McCargoe
Night 4: Moskey Basin
Night 5: 3 Mile

McCargoe has more to offer in terms of exploration and things to do, so I'd suggest spending more time there. Three Mile isn't that exciting, and if you're experienced you can get to ...

Most of the outhouses I've encountered on the island have been surprisingly nice. That said....

One trick I've come up with is to put a matchbook in the plastic bag with your TP. Use the matches to cover some of the more ripe smelling outhouses located at the more popular campgrounds (like Daisy ...

In 2002, my friend and I went from Little Todd to N. Desor when we were in fantastic shape. We noted how it was some of the toughest terrain we've ever hiked- even more than the southern portion of the AT & areas in Glacier. We planned on staying at N. Desor but ended up going to Washington Creek ...

A factor I always think of is that I often stub my toe while hiking, so a hard-shell toe box is a must.

Just something to think about. Who knows what factors you encounter that may come up.

This is big news. Here are some links I've seen:

My first trip to the island was a canoe trip that looked like this:

-Arrive at Rock Harbor.
-Take Voyageur II to Malone Bay. Portage to Sikiwit Lake, paddle to Wood Lake campground.
-Day paddle around Whittlesey. (Great walleye in there!)
-Portage/ paddle Intermediate Lake/ portage/ paddle to Lake ...

Moskey.

Little Todd

Beef stroganoff with some of the Idahoan instant potatoes (that comes in the $1 packet) mixed in is great.

Yes, near Scoville Pt.

That little cabin is where the artist in residence stays.

You can stay as long as the maximum nights allowed.

Moskey & Daisy have a 3 night maximum consecutive night stay. See page 6 of the Greenstone for maximum nights allowed at each shelter/campsite:

I've stayed at different sites ...

Glad somebody else found my "secret" spot.

Where's the cabin located?
If you walk along the harbor's edge from the shelters towards Superior you will find it.

I've been up there! Found a clearing on the way up but had to bushwhack my way down.
