Trek to the Tower by The_Eagle  The Mt. Ojibway Trail on Isle Royale National Park offers hikers a unique experience, blending natural beauty, rich history, and a touch of adventure. This trail is less than 2 miles long.
Starting at the Rock Harbor Trail at the Dairy Farm Campground, you will climb 650 feet to the mothballed fire tower.
The trail eventually leads you to the summit of Mt. Ojibway, which stands at 1,132 feet above sea level. At the top, you’ll find the historic fire tower, built in the 1930s. This fire tower was once used to spot wildfires across the island, a crucial task in an area prone to lightning strikes and dry conditions. The views from Mt. Ojibway are stunning, with sweeping vistas of the island’s interior and Lake Superior and Canada. The trail intersects the Greenstone Ridge Trail where you have other hiking opportunities.
