Isle Royale National Park is an 893-square-mile national park along a cluster of islands within Lake Superior, located near the United States-Canada border. The park preserves significant lands that were used throughout the 19th century as copper mines and resort communities, converted back into car-free natural forest and lake ecosystems full of native flora and fauna, including wolves and moose. 165 miles of hiking trails are offered throughout the park, including the Greenstone Ridge Trail, which connects Rock and Windigo Harbors. Backpacking and day hiking trips are visitor favorites, with 36 campground sites offered throughout the island. Other popular activities include fishing, scuba diving, ranger-led talks and hikes, and guided boat tours throughout the region.
