  • Isle Royale is a remote Wilderness - isolated by the harsh waters of Lake Superior. It’s the least visited National Park in the lower 48 states. But also, the most revisited National Park in the country. Find out why, as Fritz and his old hockey buddy Gino, traverse this superior wilderness. In search of wolves, moose, and most of all fellowship.
    Please sit back, relax, crack a cold pop and join us at Isle Royale National Park!

Boat trips back I've witnessed silence and teary eyes. There's just something about that magnificent Isle. Like going back in time.
