Isle Royale is the largest island in the vast Lake Superior. The land mass is more than 45 miles at its longest point and nine miles at its widest. It is also surrounded by around 400 smaller islands. These isles make up the Isle Royale National Park, established on April 3, 1940.

In 1976, the park was designated as a National Wilderness Area to preserve its natural conditions. And in 1980, because of its wondrous ecosystems, it was also made an International Biosphere Reserve.
People can still visit Isle Royale National Park, although they have to ride a sea vessel or a float plane to do so.
One of the most enjoyable things to do in the park is to appreciate its unadulterated flora and fauna. Because there is limited human intervention today, several wildlife mammals can roam freely in the place. The park is known for its wolf and moose populations. There are also plenty of birds that can be spotted there, particularly loons that let out their magnificent call on the coastal waters. Different species of wildflowers and berries are littered all over the forests that are also home to conifers and deciduous trees.
There are campgrounds for those who want to stay the night. And if they are lucky enough, they can even catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights.
