    Isle Royale Seaplanes

    I was quite cautious about being a passenger in such a small plane, but this was the only option…read morethat would work with the itinerary. Yes, it is expensive, but the 45-60 minute flight is much quicker than the 3-6 hr ferry options. Check in was quite smooth. You park in the lot, and give them your car keys (I guess in case they need to move your car? It's also $8/day for parking). Your luggage gets weighed as there's a 45 lb limit per passenger (and no individual bag can weigh more than 45 lb). Thankfully they don't weigh the passengers, instead they just eyeball you and might tell you if you need to sit in a certain seat to balance the plane. The whole process was a breeze. The flight out was very smooth, while the flight back was a bit rough. It was raining pretty hard with a chance of thunderstorms, but as the weather improved, my flight wasn't delayed. There was a screen at the outside of the Rock Harbor visitor center with updates, but you can also ask the NPS ranger who has more detailed information too. The company tries their best to make sure you aren't delayed, including adding extra flights if there's a backlog. If you have the cash, definitely splurge on the seaplane as you get a cool view of the island, and you have the chance to sit in the co-pilot seat too!

    DO NOT TAKE THE SEAPLANES!!! I explored the seaplane option as I've heard the waters can be rough…read moreand I wanted to save some time. HUGE MISTAKE. They also have terrible reviews on Google. I submitted my first request to their website on May 7th, they responded May 12th that "On 7/6 the latest available flight is 1pm." even though 1pm isn't an option in the dropdown, so I replied on May 16th that yes okay I'll book that time, again on May 21st, and then May 26th asking what to do. They replied "please resubmit. We discarded your request because you didn't respond from 5/12 to 5/16." ARE YOU KIDDING ME. That is so unhelpful. So I sent a screenshot showing how that isn't an option on the form and what time to select instead when I resubmit, and he replied "It's not in the menu but is one that we provide most days. Let us know if you want it." Like obviously I want it??? I've told you 3 times I want it??? So I resubmitted May 30th with the new incorrect time since both the times I wanted weren't listed, and didn't hear back until June 18th: "The requested flights are sold out." Well in the meantime I had to schedule the rest of my trip so I scheduled the Voyageur II boat from one part of the island to another, which now I cannot take, and because they took so long to reply I'm outside the cancellation window and have to eat the late cancellation costs. I called them and there is nothing they can do. They provided alternative options which is the inverse trip of what I wanted, which would require me to change my vacation dates and I still wouldn't make the boat that I have booked so I would have to eat that cancellation cost either way. They've sabotaged my entire trip that I've spent months meticulously planning out. Now if I want to go I have to rework my entire itinerary with only a week left to plan this, and hope that other routes to the island are available. Either way, I will not get to see the island as much as I had wanted, and I will have to eat the costs of the boat I reserved, all because of Jon and Kirsten at IsleRoyaleSeaplanes. I called the Voyageur company as well to explore alternative options, and they said they are not surprised to hear about my experience, and have seen this happen before. It is very well known that Isle Royale Seaplanes has horrible customer service and cancels on customers outside of weather reasons.

    Houghton Waterfront Park

    Houghton Waterfront Park

    This Waterfront Park really embodies what the town of Houghton, Michigan is all about…read more Houghton, Michigan (in my opinion) is a pretty cozy/old fashioned/industrial city with this terrific Waterfront Park situated along the edge of Portage Lake within the Keweenaw Waterway. The main highlight is a pedestrian walking pathway, where all you have to do is stroll about and breathe in the fresh air of the UP - Upper Peninsula. Plus, another scenic aspect of the park is having the Portage Lake Lift Bridge as the centerpiece focal point, making for quality photo opportunities (especially when the sun is out, lol) for those visitors exploring around town. And...the Portage Lake Lift Bridge connects the cities of Houghton and Hancock, which the road eventually leads towards Copper Harbor, MI - "The Gateway to Isle Royale National Park". For me coming to Houghton on my eventual journey out to Isle Royale...I very much enjoyed becoming acquainted with the city. Btw, there is an Isle Royale Visitor Center right nearby here for those interested in purchasing souvenirs, watching a park film and having your NP Passport stamped. Overall, this Waterfront Park gave me a fresh perspective for appreciating what makes Houghton quite the charming town. I used about 1 hour just casually hanging out here, taking some time to sit down on one of the many benches to relax and people watch.

    Parked by the water and went to dinner. After walked i bit around town and by the water. Peaceful…read moreand seems very safe. nice to be on vacation and not have to feel you need to be on alter and didn't see any homeless on the Upper P trip. Houghton is a college town ... several bar and restaurants. Water sports, fishing, hiking. This was our last stop on our Upper P trip. We actually went home a day early .. missed the dog. hope to return in the fall or spring ... especially the fall.
