Isle Royale Day 6: Lake Richie to McCargoe Cove

August 8, 2010
Miles: 8.4

We packed up camp and hoisted our packs for another beautiful day on Isle Royale.  We took the Indian Portage Trail and passed two lakes along the way to the Greenstone Ridge:  Lake LeSage and Lake Livermore.

Back on the Greenstone
 From the Greenstone Ridge we dropped down to the West Chickenbone Lake campsite for lunch.

We ended up with this nice shelter at McCargoe Cove.

My brother and I decided to hike a short distance to investigate the Minong Mine. We took the Minong trail for about a mile to reach it.  Sometime I plan to hike the entire Minong Ridge Trail which is said to be the most rugged trail on the island.

There we great evening views from McCargoe Cove.
