After canoeing to Moskey Basin from Daisy Farm, we had yet to see a moose. We took a short fishing trip and as we rounded the corner leading to a bog, we spotted one! We saw many more on our backpacking adventure in Isle Royale. Nothing quiet like the feeling of minding your own business, at the top of the food chain, and being instantly put in your place by one of these massive, amazing creatures. This digital art is called “Fishing Takes a Back Seat”.
Sincerely,
Isle Royale National Park
This rugged, roadless island is the largest wilderness area in Michigan. See moose, beavers, foxes, snowshoe hares, loons, osprey, bats, and other animals without the interruption of cars and other aspects of modern civilization. Try hiking sections of the popular Greenstone Ridge Trail, the longest and highest ridge on the island and access point for many of the campsites, to experience a cross-section of the park’s untamed habitat.
State(s): Michigan
Established: 1931
