Isle Royale Day 4: Moskey Basin-Lake Richie


August 6, 2010
Miles: 2.1


Today was another short hike.


We arrived at Lake Richie and found most sites occupied. There was one site available but it didn't have many views and there was also the group site, but we weren't a group.  So my brother and I decided to go exploring to see if we could find.  We ended up bushwhacking over to the canoe camp.  It was a fun experience and took some time for such a short distance.  We didn't take our packs with us so it was somewhat easier not getting stuck on branches and bushes.  After making it to the canoe camp we had a snack and looked around.  It didn't seem worth it to go all the way back to get our packs and then return so we decided to camp at one of the backpacker sites.

 It turned out that no groups showed up, so we utilized the expansive group site. Filtering water was challenging here as the water was quite slimy.


We had a nice swim in the lake.
