Lake Desor is the largest inland lake on Isle Royale, stretching over 2 miles long with a rugged shoreline. Unlike the cold, rocky waters of Lake Superior, Desor’s waters are often warmer and calmer, making it a great place for a refreshing swim after a long hike spruce and fir forest that surrounds it.
