On this day in 1940, Isle Royale was established as a national park. It consists of one large island and over 200 smaller islands in Lake Superior, accessible only by boat or float plane. The park's isolation and natural beauty provide a habitat for timber wolves and moose. The waters of Isle Royale also contain several well-preserved shipwrecks, thanks to the area's harsh weather and cold, fresh water.
