Those big islands, are the lived on? I had no idea they existed before this picture. Id sure love to spend a few years exploring that area. Nothing better in my opinion than be at or on the lake.
The the big island at the top is Isle Royal it’s a national park
And part of Michigan. I believe the only inhabitants are park rangers and the ones that run the lodge there and of course the wildlife.
At one time fisherman and their families and resort owner lived there. There was a mail ship that carried mail and supplies to the residents. It sank in the harbor there.
The one that’s at the western end represents a group of 22 islands which the Apostle Islands. The only one that’s inhabited is Madeline Island it has a town on it. It’s the only one not part of the park services Apostle Island Lakeshore area.
The one on the east side is part of Ontario,Canada. I don’t know if anyone lives there.
