Isle Royale National Park, encompassing the rugged expanse of Isle Royale itself, is one of the most remote National Parks in the United States. Isolated in the vast waters of Lake Superior, the island has no roads, no cell service, and limited facilities, making it a true backcountry experience.
The park’s Greenstone Ridge Trail stretches across the island’s spine, offering a challenging yet rewarding trek through dense forests, past pristine inland lakes, and over high ridges with sweeping views. Wildlife thrives here, with moose, wolves, and loons among the many species that call the island home.
Isle Royale is open to visitors seasonally, from April 17th to October 31st. A $7 per person daily entrance fee is required for those entering or staying within the park per calendar day
