About
Grand Island Cabins provide a unique opportunity to stay overnight on Grand Island, a congressionally designated National Recreation Area surrounded by Lake Superior. The island features massive 300-foot sandstone cliffs, old-growth forests, pristine beaches, and miles of trails for hiking, biking, and wildlife viewing. Two rustic cabins are available: Merchant Cabin near the ferry landing and Sunset Cabin located 3.6 miles inland on the West Rim Trail. Each 14x16-foot cabin includes an attached screened porch, four full-size bunk beds sleeping up to eight people, an outdoor picnic table, and a campfire ring with cooking grate. Firewood is supplied. A covered pit toilet serves each cabin. These are primitive accommodations with no electricity, running water, or trash service. Guests must bring drinking water, food, dishes, utensils, toilet paper, bedding, pillows, garbage bags, and lanterns. Transportation to and from the island is the guest's responsibility via Grand Island Ferry Service or personal watercraft. Generators are prohibited.
Directions
Take the Grand Island Ferry from Munising, Michigan to the island. Merchant Cabin is near Williams Landing ferry dock. Sunset Cabin is located on the West Rim Trail approximately 3.6 miles from the ferry landing, accessible by hiking or biking.
