This Underrated National Park Just Might Be The Most Beautiful Place in Michigan

With Michigan being the size that it is, there are countless underrated gems that you’ve likely never explored. We know that’s the case for us, which is why we’re constantly on the hunt for the many hidden treasures that make up the Great Lakes State.

Isle Royale National Park is one such gem that we’d like to talk about. Have a look.

1. On the shores of Lake Superior is where you’ll find Isle Royale, the only national park in Michigan.

2. You’ll have to get there by boat…

3. And you’ll instantly think of this place as the land of wild moose and wolves.

5. But what you’ll also encounter is some wild, untamed terrain.

6. And trails that see few visitors, even fewer in one year than Yellowstone National Park gets in a single day.

7. That means quiet nights of camping, with just you and your thoughts…

8. Oh, and plenty of giant bugs, especially during the warmer months.
