Not sure which topic I should post this under, or if the admin wants to repost it somewhere else. Saw this alert on the Isle Royale National Park website, https://www.nps.gov/isro/planyourvisit/conditions.htm Wash your hands and use sanitizer! We are headed to the island through Rock Harbor in a ...

Just FYI, myself and family of four are renting a housekeeping cottage our first and last day of our trip in early August. I just got off the phone with the lodge and she told me that the use of one canoe for a half day was included with the cottage rental. Also asked about checking a bag for ...

There are five in our group, so we’ll keep an open mind. I was mostly concerned with making changes with the water taxi for a different drop off point. I’m not going to change anything and play it by ear. If the weather is bad maybe we try to get a shelter at Moskey. If it’s nice and the skeeters are ...

Well, not the answer I was looking for, but probably the one I needed :lol: I really wanted us to experience a few nights at an inland campsite, for the quiet and solitude.

That way if we are delayed a day, we can still take the taxi to M ...

My questions with that are do they run every day, and will they get us to our destination if we are a day behind? Dcclark, my wife came across your blog from your last trip and that’s w ...

First of all, thank you to everybody who posts on this forum. My wife, three kids and I are planning our first trip to The Island in early August and this forum has been a wealth of information! Our “A” plan is to take the ferry from Copper Harbor to Rock harbor, then catch the Voyager the next day t ...
