There is one cabin left. Go to the “Picture of the Week” thread for another view of Chippewa harbor in 1991. You can see the roof of a cabin in the last pic I added.

I've been to Chippewa Harbor several times (kayak) and never noticed the cabin. Looking at one of my old slides, I do see it hidden amongst the trees. Look directly behind the little rock island with the seagull, you'll see the roof of a structure back about 20 feet from the shore. I'm guessing this...

The 1890 picture of Chippewa Harbor is from an old book I have (The Life of Isle Royale). I took this book along on our first kayak trip to Chip back in 1991. I tried to locate the exact spot where the 1890 photo was taken and came fairly close. Different camera formats (1890 view camera and a 1991 ...

Glad somebody else found my "secret" spot.

A different view of Scoville Point.

There's an old fishing boat that's partially onshore at the far northern end of Chippewa Harbor. No idea how long it's been there.

Orange, lichen-covered cliffs just outside of Chippewa Harbor.

Since we're in the fall/winter IR doldrums, a pic to get us ready for next season.

I'm not really sure where this is. Someplace in the northeast part of the island.

I wonder if this couple ever made to IR this season?

The "America." I took this about twenty years back while in my kayak. A serendipity photo. I knew I was above the "America" but couldn't clearly see the wreck due the the glare off the water. I stuck my Nikonos under water, pointed it where I though the wreck was, and took this p...

Thanks for posting this. A very interesting article.

Otter Lake, a few miles west of McCargoe Cove. This lake just appears out of nowhere, when you hike the Minong Ridge west out of McCargoe.

The person I was referring to in my original post had to be air-lifted to Thunder Bay via helicopter. The rangers told us the person broke their leg.
