Review:
When you’re on your way to the Rock Harbor on Isle Royale, you’ll likely need to hitch a ride on the Isle Royale Ranger III. This vessel is 165 feet long and can carry 128 passengers across the water to the island. The schedule varies day-to-day, though you’ll want to plan ahead to make sure you are not caught in one of the ports overnight (unless planned) since the trip is six hours one way. Along with transport, this ferry provides hour-long tours and even a three-hour cruise down the Portage Canal. Along with comfortable indoor and outdoor seating, there are lounges and a grill on board.
Isle Royale Ranger III, 800 East Lakeshore Drive, Houghton, MI 49931, Phone: 906-482-0984
