Huron National Wildlife Refuge

Still waters near the Huron Refuge
This group of islands, like many of Michigan’s Lake Superior refuges, is extremely remote and rarely traversed. Little human activity takes place on the likes of Lighthouse and West Huron, and it is evident when hiking through the region.

Primitive trails line the two specks of land, weaving their way through relatively flat, densely wooded terrain. Lots of natural study takes place here. Conversationalists who want to preserve the rare species calling Huron home have deemed the islands an important port for obscure migratory birds.

Since you can only access the island by private boat, don’t be surprised to have the region to yourself, especially out of season.
