Isle Royale National Park
Isle Royale National Park is located in Lake Superior near the Canadian border. More than 99 percent of the 45-mile-long island is designated wilderness, and the island itself can only be reached by boat. Four ferries and a seaplane carry passengers to the island from MIchigan's Upper Peninsula. Small camping parties of one to six people can obtain permits either on the ferry or upon reaching the island, but larger groups from seven to 10 must make reservations in advance. Groups larger than 10 are not allowed. The park contains 36 campgrounds and more than 165 miles of hiking trails. The Rock Harbor Lodge located on the northeast corner of the island is the only lodging facility on the island.
