Lookout Louise
A high cliff viewpoint in the northeast of Isle Royale, overlooking Duplex Bay, many small islands and the distant Canadian coast.
Lookout Louise sits at the east end of Greenstone Ridge and is one of the best viewpoints on Isle Royale. From the cliff top, you can see the fjord-like shoreline of Duplex Bay, scattered islets, and the mountains of Ontario, Canada, across the water. Usually you take the park boat from Rock Harbor to the area of Hugin Bay on the north shore of Tobin Harbor, then hike up the trail about 1.6 km (roughly 40 minutes one way) to reach it. You can also paddle a canoe across Tobin Harbor to get there. Boat schedules are limited, so check times at Rock Harbor in advance. Free (included in the park entry fee).
