"This is the one with the wolves and moose populations. "

@ashandted

"You don’t necessarily have to fly to Alaska to seek utter solitude. There are very few places left in the lower 48 that are as rugged and remote as Isle Royale, Michigan. Nearly 20 mammals, including wolves and moose, roam within the boundaries of this 132,000-acre island wilderness, frequently making an appearance on the popular hiking trails. The few people that venture to the island each year arrive by ferry, boat or seaplane and set up camp at one of 36 campsites. The island offers over 165-miles of trail, scuba diving to shipwrecks in Lake Superior, kayaking or canoeing along an intricate network of waterways, and if the stars align, you might even catch a glimpse of the elusive northern lights. Isle Royale is only open from April 16th to October 31st. Due to the unpredictable waters and weather of Lake Superior, visitors are expected to plan and be prepared for unanticipated shifts in the environment. Also, due to the remote nature of the park, some services and resources, including potable water, may not be available on the island. The American half of the world’s largest freshwater lake (by surface area) stretches across northern Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota, a vast expanse of water, trees, islands and wildlife that rivals anything out west. Bookended by Duluth, Minnesota, and Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, the Lake Superior region embraces Pictured Rocks and Apostle Islands national lakeshores, Isle Royale National Park with its resident wolves, moose and other creatures, and the winter sports slopes of Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park. Anglers can cast for 86 fish species that inhabit the lake, while divers have scores of historic shipwrecks to explore. For those who just want to glide through, half a dozen major cruise lines include Superior in their Great Lakes itineraries."

"Wolves and moose roam this lesser known U.S. national park Nature runs wild on Michigan’s untamed Isle Royale, a best-kept secret of a national park in the northwestern corner of Lake Superior. The 45-mile-long wilderness island is only 18 miles from the shores of northeastern Minnesota, yet frequent fog banks, fierce storms, and choppy waters can make it seem edge-of-nowhere remote. Along with causing numerous shipwrecks in the late 1800s to early 1900s, the hazardous waters surrounding Isle Royale shaped the island’s unique ecosystem. The park has only 18 mammal species (compared to more than 40 on the mainland), many of them descendants of the hardy animals who were able to swim here in summer or cross the frozen lake in winter. (Related: See why Isle Royale National Park is a camper’s paradise.) Since 1958, scientists have been observing Isle Royale’s most famous residents, wolves and moose, in the world’s longest predator-prey study. When only a single wolf pair remained in 2018, a multiyear relocation plan began to restore the population, helping keep moose numbers in check and boosting the resiliency of the entire ecosystem. Moose sightings are frequent, as are haunting loon calls. Less seen or heard are humans. The isolation and solitude mainly beckon seasoned backpackers, kayakers, and canoeists who arrive equipped to navigate Isle Royale’s roadless backcountry and inland lake paddling route, Chain of Lakes."

"Longue de 72 km par 14 km à son point le plus large, l'île Royale forme le parc national aux côtés d'environ 400 îlots et d'un territoire lacustre dans un rayon de 7,2 km autour de l'île. Sa superficie est relativement restreinte : 2 320 km², dont seulement 540 km² émergés. Ce parc est frontalier du Lake Superior National Marine Conservation Area au Canada (aire de conservation marine) et de l'État du Minnesota. Depuis 1980, il est reconnu au titre de réserve de biosphère par l'UNESCO.Outre la randonnée pédestre, il est possible de louer des canoës et kayaks à Rock Harbor ou Windigo, de faire de la plongée sous-marine (contactez Isle Royale Charters pour les excursions guidées), de pêcher et de faire du nautisme."
