Bring a water bladder, as water filling locations are further apart. When we hiked it, we really didn't have to worry about catching the boat back at the time that we told them we would be there. We got done a day early, and just caught the last boat that day instead. As long as they keep the numbers straight, that's all that they care about. |

I backpacked for two weeks on Isle Royale and it was amazing. The only time I had trouble finding a trail from from Feldtmann Lake to Siskiwit Bay. There was some major overgrowth from the tower to the bay, but still found my way just fine. From Feldtmann to Island Mine I didn't see a single person and had Siskiwit bay campsite all to myself. All told I covered 115 miles of hiking paths. Rest of the island was a cakewalk. The hardest elevation gain was from the Greenstone Ridge to Lane Cove. Lane cove was beautiful though. That campsite and Little Todd Harbor were my favorites. If you get a chance to stay at either one, do so. Aargh, just talking about that place makes me want to go back right now! Have a great time! |

My dog has been staying home on these longer trips, I have a fear of having to carry her out. Though I did not know they were not allowed. |

I’m pretty sure it has to do with the transmission of Parvo or other diseases to the wolf population on the island. |

IR trails will be easier to find and will not have dead falls across the trail. No crawling on hands and knees. Ya can't bring your dog with you though. |
