Isle Royale National Park
While long known for and associated with its superb opportunities for backpacking, Michigan’s only Island National Park also is recognized to be a world-class destination for paddling. Passenger ferry service is available from Copper Harbor and Houghton and they will transport kayaks and canoes for an additional charge. Nicknamed the “Emerald Island”, the opportunities for paddling on inland lakes and on Lake Superior are numerous. The entire island is about 45 miles long by 11 miles at its widest point, running from the southwest to the northeast in Lake Superior. Michigan visitors arrive on the island’s eastern end in Rock Harbor. This is a designated wilderness area and visitors to the Park are restricted to travel only by foot or by boat. The Voyager II ferryboat will transport paddlers and their boats on a bi-daily circumnavigation of the entire island, stopping intermittently at points along the way. Rock Harbor, however, is the gateway to some of the best paddling locales on the Island including a chain of inland lakes ultimately connect with Lake Superior on the south and the north sides of Isle Royale. This route is Michigan’s best stab at a Boundary Waters experience and its short portages in between are best suited for paddlers of canoes. Several options exist for route selection and (Lake Superior) points of entry. McCargoe Cove is generally the preferred portal on the Island’s north side and many paddlers either start or finish their journey here, often taking a ride on the Voyager II. Moskey Basin, Chippewa Harbor and Malone Bay are all serviced by the Voyager and are utilized points of entry on the south side. Paddlers may want to visit Ryan Island on Lake Siskiwit along this route. Its claim to fame is being the largest island on the largest lake inside the largest island of the largest freshwater lake in the world! Paddling on Lake Superior is typically best suited for sea kayaks. Both the southeast and northeast sides of Isle Royale are a paddler’s paradise with numerous barrier islands and finger-bays to explore. Calm water can often be found within the protected harbors, bays and channels on windy days, although some exposed areas do exist in between. Many campsites in this region are accessible only by water and summertime crowds are lower than at campsites shared with trail accessible sites shared with hikers.
Special rules exist on the Island. Daily user fees are collected from visitors while on the ferry crossing and a Michigan fishing license is required if putting a line in the water. Leave No Trace low impact camping rules apply and permitted sites for campfires are limited. Although a lodge exists in Rock Harbor, camping is the only real way to get out to see the island. Campers need to be self sufficient, including food, a water filter, stove, warm clothes, sleeping bag, tent, gear and equipment as basic services are provided only in Rock Harbor and in Windigo. The Keweenaw Adventure Company in Copper Harbor provides fully inclusive, guided sea kayak tours on Isle Royale.

Racers have the opportunity to recover and relax with a pasty dinner and music Saturday evening. Sunday's Top of the World Smackdown punishes with run-ups, fast pavement sections, grass, dirt and singletrack. Though the race has, for the most part, been spared inclement weather, anything is possible in Copper Harbor come late October. There's no better way to end the Keweenaw cycling season than with a trip to the Harbor. For information call 906-370-1997 or visit the website.

Lighthouse Ferry Service, Inc.
Whether traveler or Keweenaw resident, don't miss a tour of the Copper Harbor Lighthouse. This single tour encompasses a total lighthouse experience, including a ride in a boat similar to an early 20th century lighthouse launch. Because lighthouses are built in treacherous waters, it takes a versatile boat to ferry supplies to lightkeepers and their families. Our navy motorwhale combines shallow draft, maneuverability, and the capacity to run in heavy seas. The time-proven "double-ender" hull design and dimensions of our launch are identical to the early wooden boats of the United States Lighthouse Service which tended to the needs of the lighthouses of the Keweenaw Peninsula. You will arrive at Hayes Point just as the lightkeepers did 100 years before you.
On the 15 minute boat ride from the marina to the lighthouse you will be given a brief history of Copper Harbor. You will see the navigational range lights just as boats entering these naturally protected waters have seen them since 1868, guiding mariners safely through the reefs which guard the harbor entrance.
In addition to their lighthouse boat tours, the ferry service also offers a 2 hour sunset cruise to the lighthouse and out into Lake Superior.
Gift shop on premises. Mid-May through mid-October.Copper Harbor MarinaM-26Copper Harbor, MI 49918Phone: 906-289-4966
