Copper Harbor seems to be the shortest path to Isle Royale. It takes 4.5 hours one way to Rock Harbor. It departs 8:00 AM from Copper Harbor and back from Rock Harbor 3:00 PM daily.

By schedule we will arrive at Rock Harbor, Isle Royale at around 12:30 PM. I still don't knwo what to do there. We will probably stay for one night only, at Rock Harbor Lodge (Isle Royale Resorts, PO Box 605, Houghton, MI 49931-0605) (906) 337-4993
