                           By: Alexandra Erkkila

   When you walk through Isle Royale you will feel refreshed, relaxed,
and astonished at the wonderful scenery and beautiful surrounding
waters. You will see new plants and many different animals. It is a
great way to get away from the city and enjoy the outdoors.

History



   In 1671 the french claimed Isle Royale for themselves. In 1783 it
became a possession to the United States of America. Then Albert
Stroll had the idea to turn Isle Royale in to a national park. It was
authorized on March 3, 1931 by president Herbert Hoover. The Island
was established in 1940, and they preserved 132,018 acres of land in
1976.

Natural Features


   Isle Royale is 45 miles (72 kilometers) long and 9 miles (14
kilometers) wide. It has 196 miles of coastline, and 165 miles of trails.
Isle Royale is the largest island in Lake Superior. It has more than 200
smaller islands around it. It is 55 miles away from Michigan, 15-18
miles from Canada, and 25 miles from Minnesota.


Animals

   Isle Royale has many different types of animals. There are beavers,
mink, otters, foxes, hares, squirrels, bats, wolves, and moose. Wolves
and moose are probably the most common on the island. The wolves
came there in 1940 by crossing an ice bridge from Canada. The moose
swam to the island from Canada in 1900. There are no bears or
raccoons on the island. Some birds found on the island are bald
eagles, ospreys, loons, herons, Canadian geese, ducks, gulls,
nighthawks, kingfishers, woodpeckers, jays, nuthatches, grouse, cedar
waxwings, and warblers. Some fish by Isle Royale are lake, brook, and
rainbow trout; northern pike, walleye, and yellow perch. It is very fun
to fish, but you can only use artificial bait to fish in inland lakes.
Plants

    The plants on Isle Royale are also very beautiful. There are many
different kinds of wildflowers, like the ladies slipper, and the fringed
poly gala. There are spruce, fir, and cedar trees there too. But be
careful there is also Poison Ivy!




Conclusion

   As Michigan's only national park, Isle Royale is a great one! Now
you know some of the many cool plants and animals that are there
and you know the natural features and history of the largest island in
Lake Superior, Isle Royale.
