Just a word about island parks like Isle Royale. The trip over the water really cuts down on visitation; Isle Royale is frequently the least visited of the National Parks; Channel Islands National Park, where I worked for several years, is often third from the bottom. Unlike the drive by parks, some planning is required. You do avoid the teeming hordes however. And, for that matter, the trip across the water can be a significant highlight of the trip.
You sir are officially shunned!
