Our favorite spot…

We spend 5d/4n on the island. Day two we hiked up to North Beach, and stayed at Shelter Ridge for two nights. Shelter Ridge was an amazing camp site, although it is a bit closer to the trail, it was still pretty private. It was nice to have a day to relax on the beach which is right in front of the site. Best part, it was nice enough for us to take a dip in Lake Superior!

Great kayaking destination

When camping here, bring your kayak inland off the beach. The strong winds here should not be trusted. You can access the campground by North Light Creek beach. It's about 10 miles from William's Landing. Primitive latrine, food storage pole, and fire ring. Benches are at the campsite as well. Grand Island is a beautiful place to explore!
