Isle Royale milliy bog'i a Amerika Qo'shma Shtatlari milliy bog'i shimoliy g'arbiy qismida sahro saqlanib qolgan Isle Royale va uning atrofidagi suvlar va kichik orollarni o'z ichiga oladi Superior ko'li. U Buyuk ko'llar xaritalarida osongina aniqlanadi: Superior ko'li chaqqan bo'rining profilini eslatadi; Isle Royale - bu ko'z. Bu yaqinroq bo'lsa ham Ontario, Kanada, yoki hatto Minnesota, AQSH, bu davlatning bir qismidir Michigan. Uning frantsuzcha nomi sizni "eel roy-AL" deb talaffuz qilishga undashi mumkin, ammo umumiy talaffuz "bilan ROY-ul" anglicized versiyasidir.
Tushuning
Isle Royale - bu birinchi navbatda cho'lning qo'riqxonasi, ikkinchisini boshdan kechirishni istaganlar uchun muqaddas joy, uchinchisi - sayohat joyi. Garchi u ushbu barcha foydalanishni o'z ichiga olsa ham, ular ustuvor tartibda shunday qilishadi. Shunday qilib, yovvoyi tabiat orolni boshqaradi va odamlarning tashrif buyurishlari odatda belgilangan yo'llar va o'tish mumkin bo'lgan ko'llar bilan cheklangan lagerni tark etish amaldagi protokollar. Zamonaviy qulayliklar va qulayliklar juda cheklangan; orolning har ikki chetidagi kichik portlardan uzoqda, "oqar suv" "soy" degan ma'noni anglatadi va faqat "tashqarida joylashgan" chuqurlikdagi hojatxonalar mavjud. (Ko'proq qulay bo'lganlar tualet qog'ozi bilan to'ldirilgan, ammo o'zingiznikini olib keling yoki o'zingizni tayyorlang.)
Superior ko'li qishlari parkni noyabrdan aprel oyining o'rtalariga qadar yopadi, Xotira kuni oldidan va Mehnat bayramidan keyin kirish cheklangan; Isle Royale - qish uchun umuman yopilgan AQShning yagona milliy bog'i. Shu sababli, geografik izolyatsiya va qiyin qo'pollik bilan bir qatorda, bir yilda ko'plab mehmonlarni qabul qiladi (2005 yilda 17,500), ko'plab milliy bog'lar bir kunda yashamaydi. Ushbu tashrif buyuruvchilar ajoyib bo'lib qolmoqdalar o'rtacha har birida 4-5 kun (hatto bir kunlik sayohatchilarni hisobga olsak ham), lekin u baribir katta kvadrat tashqarisida har kvadrat kilometr uchun eng past mehmonlardan biriga ega. Alyaska bog'lari. Bu, albatta, uning jozibadorligining katta qismidir. Va bu tashrif buyuruvchilarga ko'proq narsani xohlaydi, NPS-ning eng yuqori qaytib kelish darajasi.
Tarix
To'rt ming yil oldin, tub amerikaliklar Mis qazib olish, chinor daraxtlarini shakarga urish va baliq ovlash uchun Isle Royalega tashrif buyurishni boshladilar. Evropaliklar ushbu hududga kelganlaridan beri, bu erda oq baliqlar baliq ovlash, mis qazib olish bo'yicha bir qator foydasiz ishlar va 1900 yillarda kurortlar jamoasi bo'lib kelgan. 1920-yillarda, Detroyt yangiliklari jurnalist Albert Stoll Jr Isle Royale-ga tashrif buyurib, sahroga zarar etkazish uchun qanday tijorat ekspluatatsiyasi qilinayotganini ko'rdi va uni himoya qilish uchun tashviqot qildi; keyinchalik Scoville Point-ning uchi yonida uning sharafiga lavha o'rnatildi. Isle Royale milliy bog'i 1931 yilda Kongress tomonidan tashkil etilgan bo'lib, 1940 yilda er uchastkasi xususiylashtirilmagan (bir necha er egalariga umrbod ijaraga berilgan holda). 1976 yilda arxipelag "Yovvoyi tabiat zonasi" deb nomlangan va 1980 yilda "Xalqaro biosfera qo'riqxonasi" deb nomlangan.
Landshaft
Arxipelag (Isle Royale-ning o'zi va o'nlab kichik orollardan tashkil topgan) - bu ko'l tubidan ko'tarilgan va muzlik davri muzliklari tomonidan uzoq, tizimli orolga, ko'llari va Superior ko'lining kirish joylari bilan siljigan geologik buzilishning chekkasi. ba'zi tizmalar orasidagi past nuqtalarni to'ldirish. Ushbu tizmalarning janubiy tomonlari va janubiy ko'l qirg'og'i yumshoqroq moyillikka moyil; shimoliy qirlari va ko'l qirg'og'i yanada tik. Orolning bir tomonidan boshqa tomoniga o'tish odatda katta masofa emas, lekin tizmalar tufayli toqqa chiqish va tushish juda ko'p bo'lishi mumkin.
Orol va uning tizmalari taxminan WSW-ENE dan oxirigacha ishlaydi, ammo norasmiy navigatsiya maqsadlari uchun ular odatda to'g'ridan-to'g'ri g'arbdan sharqqa qarab yurishgan (park xizmatining rasmiy xaritasi yo'nalishi bilan mustahkamlangan tushuncha) . Kompasdan foydalanganda orolning haqiqiy yo'nalishini unutmang. Grinstoun tizmasi orolning uzunligidan o'tadi, uning tepaligining ko'p qismida iz bor. Isle Royale-ning o'zi 45 milya (74 km) uzunlikda va eng kengida 9 mil (14 km), taxminan 205 mil² (530 km²) maydonga ega. Orolning eng baland nuqtasi - dengiz sathidan 1394 fut (425 m) balandlikda joylashgan Desor tog'i - ko'l sathidan 800 fut (245 m) balandlikda - Grinstoun bo'ylab bir necha boshqa joylar balandligi 1200 futdan (365 m) yuqoridir.
Flora va fauna
Orol asosan, boreal va shimoliy qattiq daraxt ekotizimlari aralashmasi bilan o'rab olingan bo'lib, ular orasida ignabargli daraxtlar (archa, archa, qarag'ay) va bargli (qayin, aspen, chinor, kul) daraxtlari tanlangan. Odamlarning o'tmishda yashashi ba'zi olma daraxtlarini ortda qoldirdi. Marsh o'simliklari ko'pincha g'arbda uchraydi, ammo hamma joyda past joylarda uchraydi. Orol bo'ylab turli xil orkide va yovvoyi gullarni topish mumkin. Mevalar yovvoyi o'sadi; ko'klarni ochiq tog 'cho'qqilarida uchratish mumkin va timbo'yoqlar (chinorga o'xshash barglari sizning qo'lingizdan kattaroq; yozning boshida oq gullar, yozning oxirida qizil mevalar) hamma joyda ko'rinadigan darajada o'sadi.
Orol materikdan etarlicha uzoq va hududdagi hayvonlarning turlarini cheklash uchun etarlicha kichik; lar bor yo'q ayiqlar, kiyiklar, rakunlar va boshqa turdagi mushuklar. Taxminan 1900-yilda, moose o'zlarini orolga taklif qilishdi, ehtimol Ontariodan suzishgan. 1948 va 1967 yillarda tobora kamdan-kam uchraydigan xavfsiz muzli ko'priklarni kesib o'tib, bo'rilar ergashdi. Yopiq muhit sifatida orol yirtqich va yirtqichlar o'rtasidagi munosabatlarni o'rganadigan asosiy dala bo'lib xizmat qiladi. Bo'ri populyatsiyasi ikkita kichik to'plamdan kelib chiqqanligi sababli, orol qarindoshlarning nasl berishiga ta'sirini ham namoyish etadi. Ikkala populyatsiya ham ob-havo, kasalliklar, oziq-ovqat mavjudligi va yirtqich hayvonlar tufayli portlashlar va büstlarni boshidan kechirgan (so'nggi bir necha yozning jaziramasi 2007 yil fevral oyida buqalar populyatsiyasini 385 taga kamaytirdi, tirik qolganlarga 21 bo'ri tirikchilik qilmoqchi bo'ldi), ammo ular hali ham toqat qiladilar.
Boshqa oddiy sutemizuvchilar - qizil tulkilar (axlat uyasini to'ldirish, ayniqsa lager joylari atrofida), qunduzlar (ichki ko'llar va suv havzalarida), qizil sincaplar (hamma joyda), qor poyabzal quyonlari va samolyotlar. Orolda qarzlar, burgutlar va ospreyslar uyalar va ko'plab turli xil qo'shiq qushlari, qarag'aylar va suvda yashovchi qushlar (ayniqsa, gullalar va o'rdaklar) ko'rinadi. Bo'yalgan toshbaqalar, garter ilonlar va amfibiyalarning bir nechta turlari keng tarqalgan. Shimoliy pike, ko'llarning aksariyat qismida alabalık, alabalık, vale va boshqa sport baliqlari bilan bir qatorda juda ko'p. Chivinlar, ko'rmaydiganlar va chivinlarning bir nechta turlari, afsuski, juda ko'p, ammo bu noqulayliklar darajasi yil sayin, mavsumga qarab va bir mintaqadan boshqasiga qarab o'zgarib turadi. Hasharotlarga qarshi vositalar juda muhim va yuzlar to'rida xatolar sizni aqldan ozdirmoqchi bo'lsa ham, sizning qo'ng'iroq dopingiz ularni qo'nishlariga to'sqinlik qilganda ham ularni qutqaradi. Orolda ham asalarilar bor.
Iqlim
Shimoliy 48 ° kenglikda va sovuq Superior ko'lining mo''tadil ta'siri ostida, Ayl Royale kamdan-kam uchraydi issiq inson me'yorlari bo'yicha. Yoz oylarida siz tushdan keyin short-futbolka ob-havosiga etib borasiz, ayniqsa tog 'tizmalarida sayr qilasiz, lekin siz bir necha sovuq kechalarni, ba'zan hatto 50 ° F (10 ° C) dan past avgustning "jaziramasi". May va oktyabr oylarida havo harorati osongina sovuqdan tushishi va butun kun davomida 15 ° C dan past bo'lishi mumkin. Yog'ingarchilik oydan-oyga o'zgarib turadi, ammo iyul va avgust oylarida eng kam bulutli kunlar bo'ladi (ularni yozning eng qizg'in haftalariga aylantiradi). Nima bo'lishidan qat'iy nazar, yozning istalgan vaqtida bir necha kun qolish, hech bo'lmaganda biroz yomg'ir odatiy emas; yo yomg'ir uskunasini olib keling, yoki chodiringizda yoki boshpana ichida tiqilib qolish vaqtini rejalashtiring. Pichan bilan kasallangan odamlar uchun yaxshi yangilik shundaki, ular havodan ozgina oddiy polen allergenlarini topadilar. (Dam olish kunlari orol allergiya bilan kasallanganlar uchun mashhur boshpana bo'lgan.) Qishda sharoit qulay emas va orol yovvoyi tabiatni o'rganuvchilardan tashqari hamma uchun yopiq. Hatto park shtab-kvartirasi qish uchun Xyutonga ko'chib o'tadi.

Barcha kemalar uchun, ayniqsa, iyul oyi oxiri va avgust oyi boshlarida avans rezervasyonlari qat'iyan tavsiya etiladi. Siz Michigan shtatidan Superior chuqurligi bo'ylab yoki Minnesota shtatiga yaqin feribotlarda sayohat qilsangiz ham, tajribali dengizchi bo'lmasangiz, harakatlanish kasalligini oldini oling. Noqulay xavfli ob-havo sharoitida o'tish joylari kechikishi mumkin, ammo ular deyarli bekor qilinmaydi. The Qirolicha va Dengiz ovchisi va Voyageur II ikkalasi ham chegirmali tariflarni taklif qilishadi kunlik sayohatlar sizga orolda taxminan 3-4 soat vaqt beradigan parkga. E'tibor bering, Isle Royale Sharqiy vaqt mintaqasining g'arbiy qismida, ammo Minnesota shtatida joylashgan paromlar Markaziy vaqt bilan ishlaydi.
Michigan shtatidan paromlar to'xtaydi Snug Makoni, orolning sharqiy uchi yaqinidagi Rok-Harborning kirish joyi; bu orolning eng yirik aholi punktidir. Rock Harbour Lodge, Rock Harbour lager va Rock Harbour Visitor Center bu erda joylashganligi sababli, bu sayt odatda "Rock Harbour" deb nomlanadi, garchi bu haqiqatan ham bir necha mil uzunlikdagi suv oqimini tavsiflaydi. Minnesota shtatidan paromlar orolning g'arbiy qismida joylashgan kichikroq port bo'lgan "Windigo" va "Rok Harbor" tomon to'xtab qolishdi. Har bir portda kichik oromgoh do'koni, ichimlik suvi, zamonaviy hojatxonalar, pullik dush va tanga kir yuvish joylari mavjud; bog'dagi bunday ob'ektlar yagona.
Floatplane tomonidan
Floatplane xizmati Houghton-dan foydalanish mumkin. Bu feribotlarga qaraganda ancha qimmat, ammo sayohat vaqtning oz qismini oladi va havodan yaxshi ko'rinishga ega. Samolyot har ikkala portga to'xtab turishi mumkin va bir kunda bir nechta o'tishni amalga oshirishi mumkin bo'lganligi sababli, bu sizga kelish va ketish kunining vaqti bilan biroz moslashuvchanlikni beradi. Pechka yoqilg'isini havo orqali tashish mumkin emas, shuning uchun lagerda bo'lsangiz, uni oroldan sotib olishingiz kerak bo'ladi.
- Isle Royale dengiz kemalari (ilgari Royale Air Service), Houghton County Memorial Airport, 23810 Airpark Blvd, Laurium, ☏ 1 906 483-4991, ✉[email protected]. Sayohat vaqti: 35 daqiqa. May oyining o'rtalaridan sentyabr oyining o'rtalariga qadar chorshanba kunidan tashqari har kuni ishlaydi. Oldindan band qilish kerak. 310 AQSh dollari / kishilik sayohat, 210 dollar / kishi bir tomonga, 125 dollar / orol ichidagi odam.
Shaxsiy qayiqda
Xususiy motorli qayiqlar ham orolga, asosan, Michigan shtatining Grand Portage shahridan, Michigans Yuqori yarim orolining yonidan, kamdan-kam hollarda yaqin atrofdan keladi. Thunder Bay, Ontario. Kanadadan kelgan barcha qayiqlar (qaysi millatdan bo'lmasin) AQSh bojxonasida Vindigo yoki Snug Harborda ro'yxatdan o'tishlari shart. Sanitariya va yoqilg'i xizmatlari ushbu portlarda ham mavjud. Orolning yovvoyi hayotini kasalliklardan va buzilishlardan himoya qilish uchun uy hayvonlari park chegaralarida qayiqlarda yurish taqiqlanadi.
To'lovlar va ruxsatnomalar
Orolda har bir kalendar kuni uchun 7 dollar miqdorida to'lov 12 yosh va undan katta bo'lgan mehmonlar uchun olinadi va kelgandan keyin vaqtni tejash uchun yig'iladi yo'li orqali orolga va undan transportni ta'minlovchi xizmatlar tomonidan. Idoralararo bog'larning o'tish joylari ushbu to'lovni qoplashi mumkinligini unutmang.
Istirohat bog'iga tashrif buyuruvchilar har kuni kechqurun foydalanishni rejalashtirgan lagerlar to'g'risida reja tuzishlari shart. Bu lagerlarning rejalari lagerlar (va haqiqat) da partiyalar soni va yashash muddati cheklovlariga mos kelishiga ishonch hosil qilish va park xizmatiga qarorgohdan foydalanishni hisoblashda yordam beradi. Ular sizning fikringizni shu yo'lda o'zgartirishingizga ahamiyat bermaydilar (ular shunday bo'lishini kutishadi) va faqat lagerlardan qayerda ekanligingizni bildirishingizni so'rang. aslida ketishdan oldin qoldi. 7-10 kishilik guruhlar, piyoda sayr qiluvchilar va kanoeda uchish uchun belgilangan lagerlardan tashqarida lager qilish uchun maxsus ruxsatnomalar va zahiralar talab qilinadi. Oromgohdagi ziyofatlarning kattalashishi bilan shovqin darajasi keskin o'sib borishi sababli, 10 kishidan ko'proq guruhlar bo'linib, piyoda va alohida lagerda turishlari kerak. Superior ko'li va bog'langan suvlarda baliq ovlash davlatdan pullik litsenziyani talab qiladi; ichki ko'llarda litsenziyalash talablari mavjud emas. Ovlashga yo'l qo'yilmaydi.
Atrofga boring
Barcha transport piyoda, kanoeda yoki baydarkada, yelkanli qayiqda yoki motorli qayiqda amalga oshiriladi. NPS uskunalari uchun portlardagi bir necha keng, tekis yo'llardan va Snug Harbor hududidagi ozgina yo'lakdan tashqari, orolda yo'llar yo'q. Tog 'velosipedlari va g'ildirakli portage qurilmalariga ruxsat berilmaydi.
Bog 'cho'l zonasi sifatida zamonaviy foydalanish imkoniyatlariga javob bermaydi. Siz portlarning yaqin atrofidan tashqariga chiqib ketish uchun qo'pol sirtlarda va tik erlarda yurishingiz kerak. Windigo-da, hatto ma'lumot idorasi va do'koni ham qisqa, ammo tepalikka ega. Nogironlar kolyaskalariga ruxsat beriladi, ammo faol joylashtirilmaydi; agar biriga tayansangiz, paromdan chiqish va tushish qiyin, aylanib yurish haqida hech narsa demasligingiz mumkin. Ko'l bo'yida kanoe va qayiqda sayr qilish - harakatlanish imkoniyati cheklanganlar uchun eng yaxshi variant. Xizmat ko'rsatadigan hayvonlarga ruxsat beriladi, lekin faqat oldindan kelishilgan holda.
Piyoda
165 millik parvarishlangan yo'llar tarmog'i orolning aksariyat hududlarini birlashtiradi. Ular asfaltlanmagan va faqat biroz yaxshilangan, ochiq ildizlari va toshlari keng tarqalgan. Ochiq qattiq toshning "taqir" joylaridan o'tayotganda marshrutni belgilash uchun vaqti-vaqti bilan toshlardan yasalgan mayda toshlar yig'iladi. Botqoqli hududlarda o'tuvchi oqimlardan o'tish va kichik ko'priklar uchun taxta yo'laklar qurilgan.
Paddk bilan
Superior ko'lining bir nechta ichki ko'llari va himoyalangan kirish joylari bir necha o'n metrdan bir necha chaqirimgacha bo'lgan portalar bilan bog'langan. Kanoeda yoki baydarkada sayohat qilish sizni orolning barcha qismlariga olib bormaydi (hatto butun qirg'oq bo'yi emas; shimoli-g'arbiy qirg'oq odatda xavfli deb hisoblanadi, plyajga kam joylar bor), lekin bu parkni ko'rishning boshqa usulini ta'minlaydi yo'llarning ba'zi qismlariga etib bormaysiz.
Suvli taksida
The Qumli, tomonidan boshqariladigan suv taksisi Rock Harbour Lodge & Marina, sizni orolning sharqiy qismida joylashgan turli joylarga olib borishi mumkin. (☏ 1 906-337-4993) Bu juda qimmat, ayniqsa kichik guruhlar uchun. Masalan, Daisy Farm lageriga (6 mil uzoqlikda) bir yoki ikki kishi uchun bir tomonlama sayohat 91 dollar turadi; olti kishilik partiyalar uchun narx 110 dollarga ko'tariladi. Bittasi bor Qumli va u shuningdek rejalashtirilgan sayyohlik ekskursiyalarini taqdim etadi, shuning uchun rezervasyon qilish tavsiya etiladi.
Suv avtobusi orqali
Orolning avtobusi bu Voyageur II. Bu Grand Portage'dan paromlardan biri ("Kiring" ga qarang), lekin materikga o'tish / o'tish oralig'ida orolni aylanib o'tadi, bir kun shimol tomon bo'ylab Vindigodan Snug-Harborga, keyin janub tomonga qaytib, Vindigoga qaytadi. ikkinchisi, orolning bir qismidan boshqasiga o'tish uchun foydali bo'ladi. Yoz davomida u har hafta uch marotaba, may oyining boshlarida yoki sentyabr / oktyabr oylarining oxirlarida kamroq ishlaydi. Ikkita asosiy portlardan tashqari, u McCargoe Cove va Belle Isle (shimoliy tomon, MW Sa) va Daisy Farm, Chippewa Makoni va Malone Bay (janubiy tomoni, Tu Th Su) da kutib olish va tushirishlarni amalga oshirishi mumkin. , narxlar bir kishi uchun 40-52 dollar. Ushbu oraliq docklarda faqat so'rov bo'yicha to'xtaydi va pastga tushirish uchun etarlicha tebranmaydi, shuning uchun oldindan kitob parchasi. The Voyageur II sayohatchilarga Vindigodan Rok-Makonga (yoki aksincha) piyoda yurishlariga imkon beradi.
Samolyotda
Agar siz shunchaki kerak qattiq jadval asosida orolning u chetidan u boshigacha etib boring, suzuvchi samolyot xizmati sizni qabul qilishi mumkin, ammo oldindan ogohlantirish va band qilish talab qilinadi, yo'l haqi esa bir kishiga 280 AQSh dollarini tashkil etadi (qaytish); "Kirish" ga qarang.
Qarang
Asosiy diqqatga sazovor joy - bu orolning cho'lidir. Garchi u "daxlsiz" bo'lmasa-da, Orol Royale odamlarning yashash va foydalanish tarixiga ega va yo'llar va lagerlar tabiatan bokiralikka ega emas - orolning uzoqligi va ehtiyotkorona boshqaruvi birlashib, yanada ishonchli biri bo'lishiga imkon berdi " Milliy park tizimidagi yovvoyi "tajribalar. Yo'llar odatda amal qiladi iz qoldirmaslik tamoyillar.
Ikkinchidan, yovvoyi tabiat mavjudhayot. Sincaplar va qo'shiq qushlari kabi kichik hayvonot dunyosini ko'rish muqarrar. Agar siz ularni qidirsangiz (va ehtimol topmasangiz ham) tulki, mo'ylov va loon uchrashuvlarini kutish mumkin. Orolda bo'rilar borligi alomatlari tez-tez uchraydi (masalan, oyoq izlari va chayqalishlar), hattoki tunda uvillar yoki daraxtlar orasidan biron bir nigoh ko'rish sayohatchilarning ko'zlari va quloqlarini ochiq tutishi uchun etarli. Muslar odatda orolning yo'llaridan ham foydalanadilar va mo'l-ko'l axlat qoldiradilar. Populyatsiyalar ko'p bo'lsa, mo'ylovlarni ko'rish odatiy holdir. Ammo ularning soni kamaydi.
Quyosh faolligi va magnit maydon tebranishlariga qarab, aurora borealis ("Shimoliy chiroqlar") tez-tez ko'rinib turadi. Kechasi ochiq yorug'lik bilan ifloslanishning yo'qligi, daraxt qoplamasi buzilgan ko'l qirg'oqlarida yulduzlarga qarashning ajoyib imkoniyatlarini taqdim etadi.
Istirohat bog'ida uchta ko'rgazma markazi mavjud bo'lib, ular park haqida eksponatlar taklif qiladilar va savollarga javob beradigan qo'riqchilar mavjud.
- 1 Houghton Visitor Center, Xyuton (Lakeshore Drive-dan tashqarida, qirg'oqdagi Houghton markazida). Houghton Visitor Center - Isle Royale milliy bog'ining materikdagi bosh qarorgohi.

Orolning insoniyat tarixi ham o'rganishga arziydi. Isle Royale atrofida siz tashrif buyurishingiz mumkin bo'lgan bir nechta dengiz chiroqlari va kema halokatiga uchragan joylar mavjud. Tashlab ketilgan mis konlarining qoldiqlarini Makkargo Koyi yonida, Minalar oroli izi va Vindigo yaqinida topish mumkin.
- 4 Rok-Harbor dengiz chiroqlari. 1855 yilda qurilgan balandligi 15 fut bo'lgan silindrsimon minora.
- 5 Edisen tarixiy baliq ovi (port Daisy Farm lageridan). 1895 yilda qurilgan tijorat baliqchiligini tashkil etuvchi etti bino to'plami.
- 6 Passage Island dengiz chiroqi (Bleyk Peyntdan bir necha mil narida Superior ko'liga). 1882 yilda qurilgan.
- 7 kruiz kemasi Amerika halokat (Vashington Makoni og'zidagi sirtdan bir oz pastda).
Qil
Baliq ovlash - bu mashhur mashg'ulotdir, bu bilan siz Ayl Royale atrofidagi suvlarda motorli qayiqlardan yoki uning ichki ko'llaridagi kanoatlardan (ko'plari tanho va baliqlar bilan to'lib toshgan) qilishingiz mumkin. Superior ko'li suvlarida (shu jumladan, koylarda) baliq ovlash Michigan shtatidagi baliq ovlash litsenziyasini talab qiladi, uni har ikkala portning qo'riqchilar stantsiyasida sotib olishingiz mumkin. Ov qilish emas ruxsat berilgan.
Bir qator kemalar Isle Royale atrofidagi toshlar va orollarda falokatlarga duch kelishdi, shu sababli atrofdagi suvlar kema halokatiga uchraganlar orasida juda mashhur.
Rok-Makon atrofida
Agar siz tunni Rok-Harbor lagerida, Rock Harbor Lodge-da yoki Michigan shtatidan sayohat qilsangiz, kunni o'tkazishning bir qancha usullari mavjud.
- Ekskursiyalar, uyushtirilgan tadbirlar va qayiq ekspeditsiyalari taklif etiladi; jadvalda nima borligini ko'rish uchun lojada tekshiring. Qayiq safari sizni orolning janubi-sharqiy qismida joylashgan ba'zi qiziqarli joylarga olib borishi mumkin, masalan Pasaj oroli va uning dengiz chiroqi Superior ko'lidan bir necha mil uzoqlikda va o'z-o'zini tadqiq qilish uchun quyida keltirilgan bir nechta joy. Lodge shuningdek, tungi axborot dasturlarini rejalashtiradi.
- Kanoeda eshkak eshish va eshkak eshish Tobin Makoni, tor yarimorolning shimoliy tomonida joylashgan uzun, boshpana kirish joyi va qo'riqchilar stantsiyasi yoqilgan. Bu engil rivojlangan "tarixiy tuman" bir asr oldin (asosan ko'l yaqinida) kichkina kottejlar uchun mashhur joy bo'lgan, ammo vaqti-vaqti bilan suzib yuruvchi samolyotning qo'nish / uchishidan tashqari, odatda "notinch" Rok-Harborga qaraganda tinchroq va shuningdek, hayratlanarli ko'rinishga olib boradigan yo'lning yorlig'ini taqdim etadi Qarovchi Luiza Grinstoun tizmasida. (Kanoeda ijaraga berish narxining namunasi: olti soat davomida 18 dollar.)
- Kanoeda eshkak eshish va eshkak eshish Rok-Makon. Siz portning qirg'og'i bo'ylab harakat qilishingiz yoki uni Superior ko'lidan himoya qiladigan bir nechta to'siq orollarini o'rganishingiz mumkin. Malinali oroli (Snug Harbordan chiqib ketayotganda biroz chapga buriling) Isle Royale atrof-muhitining bir nechta joylashtirilgan misollari (shu qatorda qisqa, ammo qiyin qismlarini o'z ichiga olgan) iz. E'tibor bering, Rok-Harbor shamolli ob-havodan ozgina boshpana beradi, to'siq orollari orasida belkurak sizni Superior ko'l to'lqinlariga duchor qilishi mumkin va orollarning lakeward qismida qulab tushadigan to'lqinlar va shishlar osongina kanoeni uchirishi yoki botqoqlashi mumkin. Bundan tashqari, biron sababga ko'ra bandargoh uzunligini qisib turadigan motorli qayiqlardan vaqti-vaqti bilan uyg'onishga tayyor bo'lishingiz kerak bo'ladi.
- An bilan qayiqni ijaraga oling tashqi dvigatel va Rok-Harborda baliq ovlashga boring yoki uzoqroq joylarni o'rganing. Sharqiy Karibu va Mott orollari (piyodalar ko'prigiga qo'shilgan) ba'zida shovqinli bog'ning shtab-kvartirasi joylashgan, ammo sizni Rok-Harbordan narida joylashgan Superior ko'li qirg'og'iga olib boradigan 2 millik yo'l bor. Edisen baliqchilik va Rok-Harbor dengiz chiroqlari (ikkalasi ham yaxshi saqlanib qolgan XIX asr yodgorliklari) Moskey havzasi og'zidagi Daisy Farm lagerining qarshisida. Edisendan bir oz g'arbda yana bir sobiq baliq ovi mavjud bo'lib, u o'z hovlisida ulug'vor suyaklari to'plamiga ega bo'lgan bo'ri / moose tadqiqotchilari Candy va Rolf Petersonlarning yozgi qarorgohi (Norvegiya bayrog'ini qidirib toping).
- Bir necha soat oyoqlaringizda turish uchun piyoda yuring Stol Trail Sharqdan toshli Scoville Point-ga, yo'l bo'ylab mis qazib olish bilan shug'ullanadigan qadimgi bir juft chuqurlikdan o'tib ketdi. Yoki G'arbdan bir necha mil uzoqlikda joylashgan Rok-Harbor yo'lidan boring Suzining g'ori, ko'l ancha baland bo'lganida hosil bo'lgan "yashirin o'tish" va Tobin Makoni yo'liga qaytish (yoki aksincha). Tobin Makoni va Stoll yo'llari eng qiyin bo'lgan, ammo ikkalasi ham aldamchi qadamlarni (ayniqsa Stoll) va tik yo'llarni (ayniqsa Tobin Makoni) o'z ichiga oladi.
- Yana uzoqroq yurish uchun Grinstoun tizmasiga ko'tariling Mt. Franklin va orqaga (taxminan 10 milya qaytish). Bir kunlik kuchli zamm uchun, g'arb tomonga qarab davom eting Mt. Ojibway va Daisy fermasi va Rok-Harbor yo'llari orqali qaytib boring (jami 15 milya atrofida). Tog'da suv manbalari mavjud emas va yozgi tushdan keyin balandliklarda 80-F (~ 25 ° C) darajaga yetishi mumkin.
Windigo atrofida
Washington Creek lagerida yoki Minnesotadan kun bo'yi sayr qiluvchilarda ham bir nechta variant mavjud.
- O'z-o'zini boshqaradigan ikkita kishi bor tabiat izi Windigo-da ilmoqlar, biri mildan kamroq, ikkinchisi bir mildan biroz ko'proq.
- Kanoeda ijaraga oling va boshpana toping Vashington Makoniva Greys Makoni Superior ko'li bo'yida. Ularda juda ko'p qirg'oq bo'yi, bir nechta orollar va zo'rg'a suv ostida cho'kkan kruiz kemasi mavjud Amerika o'rganish (eng yaxshi motorli qayiq bilan).
- Eski Wendigo koni xarobalar (matn terish xatosi emas; 19-asrning imlosi ba'zan bir-biriga mos kelmaydi) Sharqiy Xuginnin Kov yo'li bo'ylab bir necha mil uzoqlikda joylashgan.
- Dastlabki 2 milya yurish Feldtmann Ridge Trail va orqada Vashington Makoni yaxshi manzaralari, shu jumladan, yaxshi qarashga olib boradigan qisqa yo'l. Uzoqroq yurish kamroq manzaralarni taklif etadi, ammo o'rmonzorlarda chiroyli sayr.
- 9 millik yo'l Xuginnin koyi va orolga bir kunlik tashrif buyuradigan odam uchun orqaga qaytish juda uzoq, ammo agar siz Vashington Krik lagerida bo'lsangiz, ayniqsa sizning jihozingizni qoldirsangiz 4-6 soat ichida amalga oshiriladi. Uning qiyin, tik yo'llari bor.
- Xuddi shunday, Minong tizmasi bu yo'l bo'ylab 4 mildan bir oz ko'proq.
- "Amerika" ga sho'ng'ing. Agar siz o'zingizning qayiq transportini ta'minlash imkoniyatiga ega bo'lsangiz (sho'ng'inlarni muntazam ravishda rejalashtirish bo'yicha nizomlar mavjud emas va eksklyuziv charter qimmat bo'lishi mumkin) va o'zingizning jihozlaringizni (sayohatni foydali qilish uchun bir nechta havo omborlari) ta'minlang. "Amerika" bu juda ajoyib tajriba. Kema kamoni ko'ldan qariyb ikki metrga chiqib ketadi, orqa tomon esa 84 metrga yaqinlashadi. Kema qutqarish urinishlaridan keyin ham ajoyib darajada buzilmagan. Ko'rish uchun maxsus narsalar - bu mashina xonasi, katta zinapoyalar, ovqatlanish joyi va oshxona, Ford modeli (old tomondan krank bilan jihozlangan). Ushbu kemada kiyim-kechak va kema jihozlari hanuzgacha mavjud. Uning cho'kib ketishi oqibatida biron bir odam yo'lovchisi halok bo'lmadi, shu bilan birga, vayronagarchilik sho'ng'in paytida oshxona maydoni yaqinidagi ushbu kemada kamida bitta sho'ng'in o'limi qayd etilgan. Agar siz halokat penetratsiyasi bo'yicha o'qimagan bo'lsangiz, ushbu cho'kkaga sho'ng'mang yoki kirmang. Cho'kish paytida biron bir odam halok bo'lmagani holda, bitta o'lim bor edi, uy hayvonlari iti.
Orqa mamlakat
Bo'ling Garchi ko'pchilik odamlar Ayl Royalega yo'llarni piyoda yurish yoki ko'llarda bemalol yurish uchun kelishadi va jismoniy qiyinchiliklardan bahramand bo'lishadi, shuni yodda tutingki, eng ko'p milya bosib o'tganingiz uchun mukofot yo'q va bir-ikki kun sarflaganingiz uchun jarima yo'q bitta sohada. Oroldan ozgina eslab qolish juda oson, bu sizning izingizdagi etiklarning ko'rinishi yoki sizning oldingizda kanoedagi kamon. O'zingizning orqangizdagi to'plamsiz yoki qo'lingizda belkuraksiz biroz vaqt bering va shunchaki bo'lishi orolda. |
Agar orolda bir necha soatdan ko'proq vaqt sarflashingiz kerak bo'lsa, orqaga qaytib boring. National Geographic Society, Isle Royale-ning juda yaxshi suv o'tkazmaydigan topografik xaritasini, lagerlar va yo'llar belgilangan va saytlar orasidagi quruqlik va suv yo'llari uchun bosib o'tgan joylarni 10 AQSh dollari bilan nashr etadi. Kitob Isle Royale milliy bog'i: piyodalar yo'llari va suv yo'llari Jim DuFresne tomonidan yozilgan (ISBN 0898867924) bu juda yaxshi manba bo'lib, mintaqalar va marshrutlarni batafsil tavsiflab beradi. Ikkalasi ham orolning axborot idoralarida mavjud, ammo kelishdan oldin sayohatingizni rejalashtirish uchun eng foydalidir.
O'zaro bog'langan yo'llar va portage bilan bog'langan ko'llar va koylar orolning lagerlari orasida o'zingizning marshrutingizni tuzishni osonlashtiradi. Ammo portlarda yoki paromda yoki suv taksisi kirish mumkin bo'lgan doklarda boshlanadigan va tugaydigan ba'zi umumiy yo'nalishlar mavjud:
Zamm
- Greenstone Ridge Trail. Greenstone (orolning turli joylarida toshga singdirilgan rangli mineral tarkibidagi "qimmatbaho tosh" nomi bilan atalgan) orolning deyarli butun uzunligini umurtqa pog'onasi bo'ylab olib boradi. Uning g'arbiy uchi Windigo qo'riqchi stantsiyasida, sharqiy uchi esa Tobin Makoni bo'ylab Snug Makondagi stantsiyadan. (Aksariyat sayyohlar Toblin Makoni atrofida aylanib, Franklin tog'idagi Grinstounga qo'shilishadi.) 5-6 kun davomida yurishdan osongacha o'rtacha qiyingacha yurish mumkin va kuzatib borish oson.
- Rok-Harbor yo'li. Asosan Rok-Harbor qirg'og'i bo'ylab va Moski havzasi yaqinida, so'ngra ichki qismdan Richie ko'ligacha mo''tadil yurish. Siz buni Grinstoun bilan (4-6 kun) halqaning yarmi kabi (4-5 kun) tashqariga va orqaga yurishingiz mumkin, yoki Chippewa Makoniga tushib, Snug Harborga qaytib borishingiz mumkin (2-) 3 kun).
- Feldtmann tizmasi / orol minalar izi. Grinstoun segmenti bilan bir qatorda, bu yo'llar Vindigoda boshlanadigan va tugaydigan pastadir hosil qiladi. Suvli-botqoqli joylarda va tog 'tizmalari bo'ylab yurish juda qiyin va 3-4 kun davom etadi.
- Hind portage izi. Bir nechta ichki ko'llar orasidagi va atrofida joylashgan ushbu qator yo'llar orolni Chippewa Makonidan Makkargo Kovigacha kesib o'tadi. O'rtacha qiyin yuqoriga va pastga va pastga qarab yurish, 1-2 kun davom etadi.
- Minong Ridge Trail. Ushbu qo'pol, ozgina tozalangan izni boshqalarga qaraganda shimoliy qirg'oq yaqinidagi Makkargo Kovidan Vindigoga qadar kuzatib borish qiyinroq. Piyoda yurish 4-5 ta qiyin kunni oladi, g'arbiy qismi esa lagerlar oralig'ida qariyb 13 mil.
Paddok
- Janubiy ko'llar. Nisbatan qisqa portajlar bilan bog'langan bir qator ko'llar Chippewa portidan Uitlitsi, Vud, Siskivit (orolning eng yirik), O'rta va Richi ko'llari orqali o'tib, sayyohlar kira olmaydigan hududga etib boradi. 2 millik portage Richie ko'lini Moskey havzasi va Rok-Harbor bilan bog'laydi. (Maxsus ruxsatnoma bilan siz kanoeda faqat ko'llar bo'yidagi istalgan joyda lager qilishingiz mumkin.)
- Hind portage. Orolni ichki ko'llar orqali kesib o'tish uchun Chippewa portidan Richie ko'ligacha 1,2 kilometrlik port, LeSage, Livermore va Chickenbone ko'llariga biroz qisqaroq, so'ngra McCargoe Cove (yana Hind portage yo'lidan keyin) sayohati. Ushbu yo'nalish Greenstone tizmasini kesib o'tadi, shuning uchun bu qisqa portajlar qiyin.
- Shimoliy-sharqiy koylar. McCargoe Covedan boshlab, orolning shimoliy-sharqiy qismida joylashgan bir qator kanallar, koylar va koylar Superior ko'li suvlari orqali Rok-Harborga qaytib boradigan darajada xavfsiz va himoyalangan marshrutni ta'minlaydi. Ushbu marshrutga bir nechta juda qisqa portajlar va orolning ochiq uchi atrofida xavfli belkurakka yo'l qo'ymaslik uchun Grinstoun ustida bitta yurak urishi kiradi.
- Janubiy qirg'oq. Faqat tajribali dengiz baydarkalari uchun (kanoeler Superiorning ochiq suvlarida xavfsiz emas, hatto baydarkalar ham qirg'oqqa yaqinlashishi tavsiya etiladi) siz Rok-Harbordan Vindigo shahrigacha ko'l bo'yidagi lagerlar qatoriga o'tishingiz mumkin.
Sotib oling
Snug Harbourda juda kichik, ammo yaxshi jihozlangan lager do'koni va Windigo-da o'zlarining NPS axborot idoralari yonida kichikroq do'kon mavjud. Sayohatingizni jihozlash yoki ta'minlash uchun siz ularning ikkalasiga ham ishonmasligingiz kerak (agar boshqa hech narsa bo'lmasa, yuqori narxlar tufayli), ammo agar siz biron bir narsani qoldirganingizni aniqlasangiz, ular qulay xavfsizlik tarmog'i bilan ta'minlaydilar va ular shu bilan mashhur shunchaki izdan chiqib, issiq suv qo'shishni talab qilmaydigan ovqat izlayapsiz. Ular dramaminni dozasi bo'yicha sotadilar, chunki agar feribot uyiga boradigan yo'l qo'pol bo'lsa.
Agar siz oroldan esdalik sovg'asi olishni istasangiz, lager do'konlarida futbolkalar va futbolkalarning assortimenti mavjud va Rock Harbor Lodge (do'konlarni boshqaradigan) kichik sovg'alar do'koniga ega (Greenstone Grill bilan joy almashish) ko'proq tanlovga ega of merchandise, including knick-knacks, plush animals, and the like... so don't go and help yourself to things you find in the wilderness. Removing samples of greenstone from the park is prohibited, and tampering with the wildlife and environment in general is discouraged. "Take nothing but pictures and leave nothing but footprints."
Yemoq
For most visitors, you'll be eating what you pack in, so freeze-dried meals, candy-nuts-and-granola mixtures, and oatmeal are your best bet for on the trails and lakes. Fires are prohibited except in selected sites with community fire rings or grills, so you'll need a camp stove. Edible berries can be picked and eaten along the trails when in season. Anglers (especially with watercraft) can add freshly caught fish to the menu. The camp stores at Snug Harbor and Windigo have a limited selection of packaged groceries for housekeeping cabins, freeze-dried food for in the wilderness, and chips or candy for those just returning.
- 1 Rock Harbor Lodge Dining Room, Rock Harbor Lodge (east end of Snug Harbor), ☏ 1 906 337-4993. Daily 7AM-8:30AM, noon-1:30PM, and 5:30PM-7:30PM. Nothing too fancy, but pleasant. This is where lodge guests on the meals-included "American Plan" eat, but "European Plan" guests, cabin guests, and campers are also welcome (though if you're just coming in off a week on the trails, buying a shower first would be a nice courtesy). The lake trout is really fresh, but be prepared to pay premium prices for the luxury of kitchen-prepared food in the wilderness. Breakfast $13.50/$9, lunch $16/$11, dinner $30.50/$20 (adult/child).
- Greenstone Grill, Rock Harbor Lodge (east end of Snug Harbor). Simple fare such as burgers, sandwiches, pizza, coffee, and drinks. Very reasonbly priced, given the location, and it's so much nicer to hear the crunch of fresh lettuce and onions on a burger than the crunch of unreconstituted freeze-dried peas in your beef stew.
- 2 Windigo camp store (farther up the hill from the Windigo information center), ☏ 1 906-482-0984. Simple cold sandwiches; the only source of prepared food on the west end of the island.
Ichish
There is potable water available at the ranger stations at Snug Harbor and Windigo and their neighboring campgrounds of Rock Harbor and Washington Creek. All campgrounds have a natural water supply on-site or nearby, but these sources should be presumed infected with parasites, and either filtered or thoroughly boiled before drinking or cooking. Filters are the best option for drinking water, because that retains its refreshing coldness, and is also most practical for the gallon/day 3.5 L) or more each person is likely to need. Chemical purification tablets won't kill the tapeworm eggs that the moose deposit in the water supply.
Soft drinks are sold at both camp stores. The Greenstone Grill (see "Eat") also serves a small assortment of mainstream U.S. and Canadian beers (including Moosehead), and a small but well-chosen selection of Michigan microbrews. Bring your own liquor to the island if you wish, but keep in mind that drunken campers disturb both wildlife and other campers, and alcohol is prohibited at a few campgrounds. Besides, the last thing you need in the wilderness is impaired judgment, dehydration, a hangover, and a bottle to carry.
Uyqu
Although the park service is exploring options which might offer a compromise, when staying on Isle Royale you need to choose between cost and comfort: sleep in your own bag outside for free, or sleep in a bed indoors and pay the expense of civilized amenities in the wilderness.
Yashash
- 1 Rock Harbor Lodge (east end of Snug Harbor), ☏ 1 906 337-4993 (summers), 1 270-773-2191 (winters). Open Memorial Day through Labor Day. The only option for those wanting a bed and four walls, the lodge offers both modest modern hotel rooms overlooking Rock Harbor and Lake Superior, and modern duplex "housekeeping" cabins inland with nice big picture-window views of the surrounding trees, all a short stroll from the dock. $209-232 (cabin), $215-239 ('European plan' room without meals), $336-360 ('American plan' room with meals), double occupancy, tax and fees included; peak season is mid-July to mid-August.
Lager
The vast majority of visitors to Isle Royale stay in the designated campgrounds maintained by the park service, equivalent to what most parks call "backcountry" camping... nothing like the half-paved communal parking lots usually passed off as "campgrounds". Some are accessible only through the network of trails crossing the island, some are accessible only by water routes, but many can be reached either way. The motorboat-accessible campgrounds may not be ideal for hikers and paddlers trying to get away from civilization. There's no charge for campgrounds beyond the park visitor fee.
The only amenities at these campgrounds are enclosed pit toilets... no electricity, showers, or trash cans. Campgrounds on the shore of Lake Superior usually have picnic tables; inland campgrounds instead have a some large local logs to sit on. Most campgrounds have several fairly isolated "individual" sites, clearings big enough for two 1-to-3-person tents. Shoreline campgrounds usually also have a small number of three-sided, covered and floored wooden shelters (the fourth wall is screened), but these can't be reserved, so you need to bring a weatherproof three-season tent or risk spending the night with no protection from the clouds (of rain and mosquitoes). For that matter, the tent sites can't be reserved either, so during times of heavy use, you might have to share an individual site with another party. Some campgrounds have larger tent sites for groups of 7-10 campers (located away from the "regular" sites, to reduce the disturbances such groups produce) which kerak be reserved. Most campgrounds have a three-night limit on how long you may stay, and the most in-demand ones have shorter limits.

For those arriving at Snug Harbor, the obvious place to camp the first and last nights is the Rock Harbor campground, the island's busiest. If you're eager to get away from what passes for "crowds" on Isle Royale, Three Mile campground (unsurprisingly about 3 miles away) is easy to get to. Daisy Farm (another 4 miles) is also within a partial-day's hike. But keep in mind that you'll be disembarking from a ferry at the same time as dozens of people with exactly the same idea, filling that first day's hike with passing and being passed by fellow travelers, so an afternoon exploring the Snug Harbor area and a night at Rock Harbor with a more individual hit-the-trail time the next morning (and your choice of sites when you arrive) may be more to your liking. Lane Cove is a reasonable distance for a first night, but it requires hiking over the Greenstone Ridge, and it's a dead-end, so you'll have to backtrack the next day (with a really steep climb back onto the ridge) to go anywhere else. First-day paddlers can reach the Tooker's Island or Caribou Island campgrounds on the barrier islands protecting Rock Harbor.
Arrivals at Windigo typically spend the first and last nights at the Washington Creek campground. An alternative is to hike north to Huginnin Cove (3 miles), but this detour loop will add about 3 miles of up-and-down hiking to the beginning of the next day's hike, regardless of which direction you're going next. Or set out right away on the Greenstone and make your way to Island Mine campground (7 miles, mostly up hill). Beaver Island and Grace Island campgrounds can be reached by canoe or kayak.
From there, it's up to you.

True backcountry camping – hiking off the trails and camping in non-designated sites – is allowed only with a special "cross-country" camping permit. It's advised only for experienced wilderness hikers due to the frequent ruggedness of the terrain and difficulty navigating in mostly-wooded areas.

The Brothers Grimm gave wolves a very unfair portrayal; unless you are a young or feeble moose, you're in no danger from them. Although they've gotten a little less furtive lately as they look harder for moose (whose numbers have gone down substantially), they're still very good at avoiding humans, and even mere sightings are still infrequent. On the other hand, moose can be very dangerous if provoked (there's a reason wolves only go after the weak ones, and do so in packs), especially if you get between a mother and her calf, or if you confront a bull during mating season. But otherwise they're nothing to be afraid of, and will probably regard you the same way.
The greatest danger is your own foolishness: pushing yourself too hard, or ignoring basic principles of wilderness health and safety (e.g. keeping dry, water sanitation, floatation devices on the water). Canoeing, kayaking, or swimming in Lake Superior can be particularly hazardous due to the potential roughness of the water (it's more like a freshwater sea than a mere lake) and the hypothermia-inducing temperature just below the surface year-round.
The water from Lake Superior is safe enough when filtered, but some streams and inland lake sources are not as wholesome. Good filtration (not iodine tablets) is a must and some water from marshlands may need to be pre-filtered to prevent clogging. The taller ridges can reach 80 degrees on a warm summer's day, and there are no water sources up there. Plan ahead and bring plenty of water, as the ridge trails are a strenuous hike. Nothing is worse than being exhausted and out of water 1000 feet above Lake Superior!
If you're injured, there's limited medical assistance available on the island, and it's going to have a difficult time getting to you in the backcountry. There are ranger stations at Snug Harbor, Windigo, Malone Bay (on the south shore), and Amygdaloid Island (off the northeast shore), and a ranger resident at Daisy Farm, any of which can radio for help and arrange for helicopter transport to the mainland (at your expense) for professional medical care.
Surprisingly, there is a theft problem at Isle Royale campgrounds, and the culprits inevitably escape prosecution on the grounds that they are not human. Foxes are the worst culprits, potentially stealing anything left unattended, including boots, socks, and even cameras. Squirrels – especially those who've had a previous taste of the exotic foods humans eat – will brazenly steal food from your hand when your head is turned (not much caring if they bite you in the process), or chew through your backpack if they catch a whiff of such ambrosia inside. Double-plastic-bagging and vigilance are advised. This is important both for your own well-being and that of the animals; camp foxes quickly become dependent on human food and stop hunting, which is both nutritionally bad for them va leaves them to starve when the humans all go away for the long winter.

The phone numbers included here are useful for planning your trip, not for calling from Isle Royale, where phone service is almost non-existent. At Snug Harbor there's a cellular pay phone on an amplified antenna for "Yeah, Mom, I made it back to the ranger station" calls (credit cards only; $5 for the first two minutes). Mobile phones won't work unless you're on a ridge or a part of the island close to Thunder Bay, Ontario, where maybe you'll get a weak signal. You can bring your phone along "for emergencies", but the odds of it working when you want it to are slim enough to make it just a half pound of dead weight in your pack. Don't even think about trying to blog your trip.

If traveling through Grand Portage, the Boundary Waters Canoe Area ning Minnesota va Quetico Provincial Park ning Ontario provide a paddling paradise to the west. Xyuton-Xenkok va Mis Makoni are located on the scenic Keweenaw Peninsula (Isle Royale's geological sibling), and it's not far from there to Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, another nice hiking area to the southeast.
