Isle Royale, National park island in Lake Superior, Michigan, United States.
Isle Royale extends 45 miles in length and 9 miles in width, making it the largest natural island in Lake Superior with 206 square miles of land.
Native peoples from Minnesota and Ontario used the island for copper mining activities, leaving numerous ancient mine pits that mark the landscape today.
The island received recognition as a UNESCO International Biosphere Reserve in 1980 and joined the National Register of Historic Places in 2019 as Minong Traditional Cultural Property.
Access to the island operates through ferries and seaplanes from May to September, with the park closing completely between November and April due to winter conditions.
The island contains 170 miles of hiking trails and serves as a natural laboratory for studying the relationship between moose and timber wolves in isolation.
