COPPER HARBOR, MICH. -- The first thing Ranger Chris Amidon wants you to know about Isle Royale National Park? It’s a destination that demands your time.
The park’s location way out in Lake Superior, roughly 55 miles from the tip of Michigan’s remote Keweenaw Peninsula, has made this archipelago and its eponymous main island one of the least-visited properties in the entire National Park System. Getting there requires time, being there requires time, and even trip planning — a must for this place — can and should take time, too, ideally well before you visit.
