IsleRoyale.Info - Trip Reports & Trip Logs

Trip Logs
As part of the Isle Royale Info site, many people have logged their trips to allow others to see when they are going and what route they are taking. This enables people to possibly hook up while on the island or, to see who has taken a trip similar to theirs and provide a contact for any questions they may have. If you are making a trip to the island, click on the current years log and it is easy to log your trip. 2002 Trip Log 2003 Trip Log 2004 Trip Log 2005 Trip Log

Trip Reports
Along with the "Trip Log", many people have submitted "Trip Reports" after their return. Reports that have been submitted are listed below. Some of the reports are on other sites. In addition, the yearly "Trip Logs" will have a link on them if there was a "Trip Report" submitted for that particular trip. I have tried to categorize them into general areas but, some of them cover overlapping areas. The best thing is to glance at the "keywords" for areas you are interested in. Or, just read them all. It gives you a good variety of opinions on the island. There are also other trip reports located on sites on the "Isle Royale Web Ring".
