Copper Harbor is one of
two ports in Michigan providing passenger ferry service to Isle
Royale National Park. Isle Royale is the only island park in the
National Park system and is also the largest island in the largest
fresh water lake in the world! It is the least visited
of all the National Parks and it's said that more people visit Yellowstone in a day than Isle Royale in an entire season. A trip to Isle Royale offers a true wilderness experience unike any other place in the world!
Hiking and boating are the only
means of travel, as no vehicles are allowed on Isle Royale.
The island has over 150 miles of shoreline and numerous barrier
islands and fjord like bays that can best be explored in a sea
kayak.

Isle
Royale Queen IV ferry in Rock Harbor, Isle Royale National
Park |
Our kayak livery is
convienently located next to the Isle
Royale Queen IV ferry dock. They will transport
kayaks on the ferry for an additional fee. The 3 hour, 56
mile journey on board the Isle Royale Queen across the world's
largest freshwater lake, is half the adventure! |

Copper
Harbor is also located on the Keweenaw
Water Trail. This is an established
route designed from a paddler's
perspective which will allow the circumnavigation of the Keweenaw
Peninsula. Unique to this trail is the ability to paddle
a loop and return to your point of origin without backtracking.
The entire loop can be covered by the average paddler in six
to eight days, but allow a few extra days for possibly being
windbound. This route is recommended for more experienced
paddlers. Sections of the water trail may be done as shorter
day or overnight trips.
