Isle Royale Forums

Me and a few friends are prepping for a canoe trip starting at Malone bay if possible. One thing that came up when we were talking is private charters to the island. Is there a page to find this? I see the main ferry’s don’t go to maple bay. But there’s a ferry that wraps around. Is there really no other way to and from Malone bay?

What we did many years back.

Took the Queen over to the Island one day, took the Voyager to Malone the next day. Spent several days at Malone, then had a nice leisurely paddle back to Rock Harbor. All we had to do was to plan our schedule around the Voyager.
