Population Two: 23 Days of SOLITUDE on ISLE ROYALE NATIONAL PARK
My twin brother Ray and I spent 23 days in the spring of 2024 on Isle Royale. The park officially opens on April 16th. Lake and ice conditions can sometimes delay the first crossing until early May. Lucky for us, we had a mild winter. We arrived at the island on the first chance that Lake Superior would let us, April 21st!
No ferries companies begin operations until the first Voyaguer II trip on May 11, and the ferry Isle Royale Queen IV on May 13th.
We did not see another person (besides NPS staff) or another boat for the first 21 days!
We occupied shelter #2 in Rock Harbor for the entire 23 days. We made plans to get away from Rock Harbor, but an ankle injury kept us close to camp.

    Wonderful! My favorite spot is the northern end of Scoville Point. On the northern end of the cove is a small shack and a bench to sit down, overlooking the water. I've spent hours there just relaxing and enjoying the view. Thanks for sharing. What a beautiful place.

    Very nice presentation on the honers,new flags installed at Rock harbor,right where the pavilion was supposed to be built. Darn😢

    • @ISLEROYALENATIONALPARKISLIFE
      @ISLEROYALENATIONALPARKISLIFE 22 дня назад

      It is a shame about the pavilion, but I'm glad they were able to get the new flagpole installed in such a beautiful location.

    • @stevehanke1842
      @stevehanke1842 18 дней назад

      @ flagpoles take up much less area then a pavilion that is needed in rock hbr during bad weather (no place to hang out and stay dry)really sad,I knew it was too good to be true to construct something to protect the hikers and such

    Sometimes I really felt like I was the first person to see these things. We saw moose everyday.

    • @ISLEROYALENATIONALPARKISLIFE
      @ISLEROYALENATIONALPARKISLIFE 22 дня назад

      I didn't see a moose this year in the last 3 months i was there. Mostly due to the increased wolf activity. I saw a wolf 13 times over the course of that same 3 months. go figure! lol

    • @indioloco6600
      @indioloco6600 22 дня назад

      @ISLEROYALENATIONALPARKISLIFE I was there more than 20 yrs. ago. Saw no wolves, some scat. Is it normal for the wolf/ moose ratio to fluctuate?

    • @ISLEROYALENATIONALPARKISLIFE
      @ISLEROYALENATIONALPARKISLIFE 22 дня назад

      ​@indioloco6600 oh definitely normal. Typically its more wolves, the fewer moose. The fewer yhe wolves, the more moose there are. Right now the balance is approximately 31 wolves and 750 oor so moose. 2019 there were 2 wolves and moose were above 2000
