Isle Royale National Park in Lake Superior isn’t for everyone.
It’s wild, remote and the least-visited national park in the lower 48 states, but one of the most beautifully fascinating. No one lives there year-round. Most of the year, there are more wolves and moose than people.

Visitation to national park and public lands exploded last summer and fall, as people clamored to get away safely, and spend time outdoors. Yellowstone National Park had its busiest September on record, with a 21 percent increase from the previous September. Great Smoky Mountains National Park â already the countryâs most-visited national park â logged more than 1.5 million visits in August, a nearly 10 percent jump from the same month in 2019.

TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. One of the world’s longest-running wildlife field studies has fallen prey to the coronavirus pandemic.
Since 1959, a research team has spent most of the winter observing the interplay between wolves and moose at Isle Royale National Park in Lake Superior. But this year’s mission has been scrapped to protect the scientists and support personnel from possible exposure to the virus, Superintendent Denice Swanke said Friday.
Experts from several universities, the park service and the Grand Portage Band of Lake Superior Chippewa had planned to assess how an effort to rebuild the wolf population is affecting the ecosystem.
