The 571,790-acre park draws only about 23,500 visitors per year. The largest forested island in Lake Superior features 165 miles of scenic hiking trails and opportunities for wildlife observation.
Isle Royale National Park was authorized by Congress in 1931 "to conserve a prime example of North Woods Wilderness." The park was designated part of the National Wilderness Preservation System in 1976, under the Wilderness Act, and remains today as an example of primitive America. More than 98% of the land on Isle Royale is designated wilderness. In 1981 the park was designated an International Biosphere Reserve by the United Nations, giving it global scientific and educational significance.
