Isle Royale National Park is a large wilderness island surrounded by Lake Superior that offers paddlers numerous trip options. The rugged island is heavily forested and is home to a large variety of wildlife. The national park is only accessible by boat transport and is completely roadless resulting in less visitors and a remote wilderness experience, This kayaking trip starts from Rock Harbor and travels west past multiple small islands to Moskey Basin. There is camping at Moskey Basin as well as portage and hiking trails that lead to nearby lakes. Daisy Farms is another landing that is closer to Rock Harbor on the way to Moskey Bay that offers camping and a boat launch for paddlers seeking a shorter trip. Check ferry schedules and contact park service for camping and permit information before visiting the island.
