We just returned from a northern Michigan trip which included a four day stay at Isle Royale National Park, which is located in Lake Superior and requires a 54 mile, 3.5 hour ferry ride from Copper Harbor, Michigan to get to the park.
Isle Royale is Michigan's only national park, and is the most remote and least visited park in the lower 48 states. The only modes of transportation to get around the 45 mile long island are your feet, kayaks / canoes, or very expensive water taxis. The island is considered a "bucket list" for back country hikers /campers, as numerous people will hike the length of the island over a week's time, staying at rustic camp grounds throughout the park. The only "modern" accommodation is the Lodge (built in the 1920's) at Rock Harbor on the eastern end of the island. There is no cell phone coverage, Internet access, or television / radio -- it's a place to go to get away from things.
C&C welcome.
