Jay Cooke State Park Carlton Minnesota. Grew up there. Our parks are our peace & serenity.
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

Greetings from Isle Royale National Park
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…
