Two bodies were discovered at a secluded campground inside Isle Royale Park, a wild island park in Lake Superior, Michigan. Park officials said two rangers hiked approximately 11 miles (17.7 kilometers) overnight to the remote site after receiving reports of the deaths on Sunday night. They reached the area on Monday and are working to determine the cause of death.
Investigation Underway
As reported by AP, park officials have not yet identified the deceased or released information about their deaths. In a statement issued Tuesday, Isle Royale Park said, “The causes of death are unknown at this time. The incident is currently under investigation.”
Isle Royale is renowned for its untouched wilderness, drawing visitors seeking solitude and adventure. Accessible only by ferry, private boat, or seaplane, the island is open seasonally for six months each year due to harsh winter conditions.
The national park encompasses the main island and more than 400 smaller surrounding islands. Despite its size and ecological significance, it is one of the least-visited national parks in the United States.
As the investigation continues, park officials have not provided a timeline for when more details will be released. The deaths have sparked concern within the close-knit community of wilderness enthusiasts who frequent the park during its operational season.
