After four years of delays, I finally landed on Isle Royale National Park. National Park #55 for me rates high on peacefulness scale and the lodging might be the best so far.
The ferries are the most economical way to traverse Lake Superior, but they book up quickly. We decided to fly. $350 round trip – it takes about 40 minutes to make the flight. It’s a little tight, but comfortable.
Isle Royale is only open from May through October and only 25,000 people a year make the journey. In June, the wildflowers show off.
The moose swim in the lakes, the otters play in the harbor, the loons sing their tales, and eagles rule the sky.
They provide water tours or you can rent a John boat and explore on your own.
And hiking provides endless color, fragrant balsam firs, and blue water.
And the Housekeeping Cabins have huge windows with stunning views of the lake (and moose for us).
