Presentation: Backpacking in the Middle of Lake Superior: Experiencing Isle Royale National Park

Isle Royale National Park is unique. It is an international biosphere reserve, 98 percent is designated wilderness, and it is surrounded by water and accessible only by boat or float plane. Intrepid adventurer Carey Kish found his way to the island and tackled the 42-mile Greenstone Ridge Trail, a wilderness footpath that traverses the length of the island. Along the way, he experienced a glorious week-long hike that included the best of this beautiful setting in Lake Superior, from ridgetop views to pretty lakes to delicious thimbleberries.

On Tuesday, March 29th, 2011, Carey will present a slide show and talk to the Maine chapter about these adventures and will also sneak in a few words and photos on his additional visit to western national parks that should be on everyone’s to-do list. Carey’s talk is in the Morrell Room of the Curtis Memorial Library, 23 Pleasant Street, in Brunswick, Maine. A potluck dinner begins at 6 pm followed by the presentation at 7 pm. Bring a potluck item and your own dinnerware (plate, utensils etc.). Drinks will be available.
