All the more reason to take the tobin harbor trail!

I do find the beer run to be impressive though!

I met one of the rangers who ran all the way across the island in a day.

You'll have a great trip. I would go with the tent over the hammock. It still gets pretty chilly at night on lake superior. Plus if you get rain I can't imagine being stuck in a hammock would be very pleasant.

I definately recommend the 7th night. You'll notice that a lot of people will be there 5 ...

Carrie,

Your kids will have a great time! My dad has been to the island every year at least once since he was 18, he turns 60 this year. So of course my first trip was very young, I was 6 as well.

I would recommend taking the Queen out of Copper Harbor, it is a bigger boat and its a bit smoother ...
